EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the National Casket Company in Oneida, New York on April 3,1916. The image showcases a worker diligently feeding lumber into a planer machine. The man's focused expression reveals his dedication to his craft as he carefully guides the wood through the powerful device. The photo provides a glimpse into the manufacturing industry of early 20th century America, where skilled workers played an essential role in producing goods. The presence of multiple planers and other machinery in the background suggests a bustling factory environment. William Davis Hassler, the photographer behind this image, was commissioned by the National Casket Company to document their operations. His work serves as both historical documentation and artistry. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this composition, emphasizing not only the worker but also highlighting the intricate details of both man and machine. This print from Fine Art Finder is part of the collection held by New-York Historical Society. As we admire this photograph today, we are reminded of how far industrialization has come since that time while appreciating those who labored tirelessly to shape our world.
