EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "To the right hon able the Earl of Moira" takes us back to a bygone era in the County of Downe. The image showcases an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of four women as they diligently engage in various stages of textile production. Within the cozy interior of a dwelling, these skilled women are seen immersed in their tasks. One woman sits at her spinning wheel, deftly transforming raw fibers into delicate yarns. Another stands nearby, attentively reeling the spun threads onto a clock reel, ensuring precision and uniformity. Meanwhile, two more women tend to a large cauldron set over an open fire, carefully boiling and dyeing the yarn to achieve vibrant hues. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is William Hincks, who has masterfully captured both the intricate details and serene atmosphere of this scene. With his expert hand-colored touches enhancing every element within this 38.3 x 44.7 cm print, Hincks brings life and vibrancy to each aspect depicted. In heartfelt tribute to the Earl of Moira's esteemed position and patronage, this plate is respectfully dedicated by its creator. Published on June 20th in London by R. Pollard under strict copyright regulations ("as the Act directs"), this print serves as a testament not only to artistic talent but also to historical documentation. Step back in time with this enchanting artwork from Liszt Collection and immerse yourself in an age-old craft that once played such an essential role in communities like those found within County Downe
