The Wheel Wright, from The Book of Trades: A Glimpse into Victorian Craftsmanship". This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a scene straight out of the industrial revolution. Entitled "The Wheel Wright" this engraving by J. Miller in 1836 captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship. In this image, we find ourselves in a bustling yard where skilled workmen are diligently crafting wooden wheels for carriages and carts. The wheelwright's workshop is filled with an array of tools - hammers, saws, chisels - each meticulously arranged to aid in their craft. Logs and pieces of wood surround them as they transform raw materials into functional works of art. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke engraved on paper reflects the dedication these craftsmen put into their trade. With focused expressions on their faces, they carefully shape and assemble each wheel with precision. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when industry was booming and manual labor played a vital role in society's progress. It serves as a reminder that behind every technological advancement lies the expertise and hard work of individuals like these wheelwrights. As we admire this piece from our private collection, let it transport us back to an age where handcrafted excellence reigned supreme – reminding us that even amidst modernization, there is value in preserving time-honored traditions.
