EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph print of "The Cooper" by the English School captures the essence of smuggling in the early 20th century. The detailed illustration, originally featured on a set of cigarette cards issued by Ogden's in 1932, depicts a scene from the world of smugglers and their illicit activities.
The image showcases a skilled cooper hard at work crafting barrels for transporting contraband goods. His focus is intense as he meticulously hammers away, creating vessels that will aid in the secretive operations of those involved in smuggling.
The use of bold colours and intricate details brings this historical moment to life, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the world of clandestine trade and deception. The rich hues add depth and dimension to the scene, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era filled with danger and adventure. The Cooper stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who engaged in illegal activities for profit.
This print serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a window into an important chapter in history. It reminds us of the lengths people would go to evade authorities and make their mark on society through less-than-legal means.
