1835 Sawing Sawyer Supports Timber Trunk Yard Sawyers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Sawyer" and dated 1835, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of the timber sawing industry. The photograph, which is a woodprint from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a skilled sawyer in the midst of his laborious task, expertly maneuvering a large, two-man saw through a towering timber trunk. The scene is set in an open yard, where the air is filled with the scent of fresh wood and the rhythmic sound of the saw being pushed back and forth. The sawyer, dressed in traditional work clothes, is focused intently on his task, his powerful muscles straining as he pushes against the resistance of the wood. He is supported by a team of strong, muscular laborers who hold the trunk steady and guide it as needed. The intricate system of pulleys and ropes overhead is used to help lift and position the massive timber, making the task more manageable. This image is a testament to the physical demands and teamwork required in the timber sawing industry during the 19th century. It also highlights the importance of this industry in providing the raw materials necessary for construction and other industries at the time. The use of large, two-man saws, such as the one depicted in the photograph, was a common method for sawing timber before the invention of the circular saw in the late 18th century. Overall, "The Sawyer" is a captivating historical image that offers a unique perspective into the past and the hard work and dedication required to extract the raw materials necessary for industry and construction. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history of the timber industry and the important role it played in shaping the world we live in today.
