In this snapshot from British postcard collection Lebrecht History, we witness a scene bustling with activity. On the left side, a young child diligently tends to a fire, heating cinders that will aid in the goldsmithing process. In the center, two men are engrossed in their work, meticulously shaping and molding precious metals into beautiful ornaments.
