EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "WHEELWRIGHT, 19th CENTURY" we are transported back to the bustling streets of America in the 1800s. The image showcases a steel banknote engraving, skillfully crafted by an American artist from that era. The focus of the artwork is on a wheelwright, a skilled worker who specializes in crafting and repairing wheels for carriages and wagons. With intense concentration etched on his face, he meticulously shapes and hammers away at the wooden spokes while surrounded by various tools of his trade. This engraving beautifully captures the essence of commerce during the 19th century in America. It serves as a testament to the industrious spirit that defined this period, where craftsmanship was highly valued and essential for transportation and trade. The presence of other men nearby suggests camaraderie among workers within their shared profession. They observe with admiration or perhaps offer assistance when needed, creating an atmosphere of collaboration amidst their daily grind. As we admire this historical artwork from The Granger Collection's archives, it reminds us how far our society has come since those days when manual labor played such a vital role in shaping our nation's growth. This piece serves as both a visual tribute to these hardworking individuals and an invitation to reflect upon our own progress over time.
