EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dated circa 1760, captures a moment in time from the early days of the industrial revolution, specifically the burgeoning stocking industry. Two intently focused workers are depicted at their weaving looms in a stocking factory. The intricacy of their task is evident in the close-up view of their hands and the tools they use to manipulate the threads. The looms themselves are a marvel of the time, with their complex mechanisms and numerous spools of thread. The stocking industry was one of the first industries to undergo the transition from domestic production to factory-based production. Prior to this period, stockings were primarily hand-knitted or hand-woven in the homes of rural women. However, the demand for stockings continued to grow, leading to the development of more efficient weaving technologies and the establishment of factories. The machine depicted in the print is a stocking loom, which was invented in the late 1600s but underwent significant improvements in the 1700s. This type of loom was used to produce stockings with a seamless, flat bottom, which was a significant improvement over the hand-knitted or hand-woven alternatives. The loom featured in the print appears to be a water-powered version, with a large water wheel visible in the background. The water wheel would have been used to power the various mechanisms of the loom, allowing for faster production and greater efficiency. Despite the advances in technology, the working conditions in these factories were often harsh and labor-intensive. Long hours, low wages, and dangerous working conditions were common. However, the demand for stockings continued to grow, leading to the expansion of the industry and the development of new technologies to meet that demand.
