EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print showcases the Trade Emblem of the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers, dating back to 1860. Created by an English School artist from the 19th century, this colourful lithograph is a part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The emblem represents the union, certificate, superannuation benefits, and working conditions that were crucial for skilled workers during that era. It symbolizes retirement security and highlights the importance of tools and craftsmanship in woodworking professions such as joiners, cabinetmakers, carpenters, and construction workers. The crest at the center captures attention with its intricate design while surrounded by a decorative cartouche. This emblem served as a source of pride for woodworkers who relied on their skills to build bridges and other structures during the Victorian era. It also signifies insurance coverage provided by the society for laborers involved in bridge building or any other construction projects. The image portrays a sense of unity among workers within this trade organization. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an important aspect of 19th-century woodworking culture. It serves as a reminder of how unions played an essential role in advocating for fair treatment and better working conditions for skilled craftsmen across various industries.
