EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut engraving, taken from 'The Book of English Trades and Library of the Useful Arts' published in London in 1810 by Tabart, offers a glimpse into the world of straw-hat making. The image portrays a bustling workshop filled with women and a young girl, all intently focused on their craft. They are seated at long tables, meticulously sewing and shaping hats from plaited and braided straw. The scene exudes an air of industry and skilled labor. The women, dressed in simple yet practical clothing, are deeply engrossed in their work, their faces expressing a sense of concentration and determination. The young apprentice, perched on a stool, watches attentively as she learns the art of straw-hat making from her elders. The drawingroom-like setting of the workshop adds to the domestic and inviting atmosphere. The warm colors of the hand-painted engraving bring the scene to life, making it a captivating and intriguing depiction of a bygone era. The intricate details of the hats in various stages of completion, the tools and materials scattered about, and the determined expressions of the workers all contribute to a vivid and engaging image. Straw-hat making was a significant occupation during this time, with the demand for hats being high, especially during the summer months. This woodcut engraving serves as a testament to the skilled labor and dedication that went into creating these essential accessories, which were once a staple in every English household.
