EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of woodworking tools, transporting us back to the 17th century. The engraving, titled "Woodworking Tools, from Mechanick Exercises: or The Doctrine of Handy-Works applied to the Art of Printing" offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and precision required in this ancient trade. The image features an array of joiners' tools meticulously arranged on a wooden bench. From planes and chisels to gouges and piercers, each tool tells its own story through worn handles and sharp blades. A sense of history emanates from these well-worn instruments that have witnessed countless projects come to life. Amongst the tools are various saws - hatchets, pit saws, whip saws, frame saws - each designed for specific tasks. These handcrafted implements were essential in shaping wood with accuracy and finesse before modern machinery took over. The composition exudes a sense of quietude as if time has momentarily stood still within this workshop. It invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in woodworking; where patience meets skillful technique. This remarkable piece is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made accessible through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the rich history behind these tools but also their enduring legacy in contemporary woodworking practices today.
