EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 17th century - a wool-weight weighing an impressive 14 pounds. Crafted with precision, this lead cast is adorned with the Stuart arms, symbolizing its association with the royal family of that era. The initials "C. B" are stamped on it, possibly indicating its origin in the City of Bristol. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this historical piece offers a glimpse into England's rich textile industry during this period. It serves as a tangible reminder of the importance placed on accurately measuring and valuing wool - a vital commodity that fueled economic growth and prosperity. The intricate coat of arms featured on this weight not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also highlights the significance of heraldry in society at that time. Heraldic symbols were used extensively to represent noble families and their lineage. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back to an era where industries thrived on meticulous weighing practices. This image invites us to appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship involved in creating such weights and their practical role within England's booming wool trade. With no commercial connotations attached to it, this print by Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history without distractions or biases – simply appreciating artistry intertwined with industrial heritage.
