EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting 19th-century engraving titled "Please mend my dolly" we are transported to a quaint workshop where the art of mending comes to life. The image showcases an English School masterpiece, capturing the essence of childhood innocence and the timeless tradition of carpentry. The focal point is a delicate wooden doll, patiently waiting for her repairs. With her worn-out limbs and chipped paint, she exudes vulnerability and longing for restoration. Surrounding her are various tools of the trade - saws, hammers, chisels - all meticulously arranged on a workbench. They stand as silent witnesses to countless hours spent perfecting their craft. The atmosphere in the workshop is serene yet bustling with anticipation. Sunlight streams through a nearby window, casting gentle shadows on dusty shelves filled with wooden figurines awaiting their turn for repair. A skilled craftsman stands at his bench, fully engrossed in his task as he delicately works on breathing new life into the cherished doll. This evocative scene beautifully captures not only the physical act of mending but also speaks to our innate desire to fix what is broken and restore what has been lost. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our modern world driven by technology and mass production, there remains great value in preserving traditional craftsmanship and nurturing sentimental connections through meticulous care. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are invited to reflect upon our own capacity for healing and renewal while celebrating the enduring beauty found
