EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pillow lace maker, late 18th-early 19th century" takes us back in time to a quaint Bedfordshire cottage. The artist, WN Gardner, skillfully captures the essence of rural life during this era. At the center of the image is a female lacemaker engrossed in her delicate craft. Her attire reflects the fashion of the time - a bonnet and dress that exude simplicity and elegance. The idyllic scene showcases not only the physical act of lace making but also represents an entire concept: cottage industry. This occupation was prevalent during the 18th and 19th centuries in England, particularly in rural areas like Bedfordshire. The mezzotint technique used by Ann Jonnet Evans adds depth and color to this picturesque moment. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a bygone era where hardworking women like our lacemaker played a vital role in their communities' economy. Their skilled hands meticulously worked on patterns pricked out on strips of parchment using pillows as support for their intricate creations. Ann Jonnet Evans has truly captured both the beauty and significance of pillow lace making through this artwork. It serves as a reminder of how professions have evolved over time while honoring those who contributed to society's fabric with their dedication and craftsmanship.
