EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Builder, from Four and Twenty Toilers" takes us back to the Victorian era, showcasing the artistry of a colour lithograph. Created in 1900 by Francis Donkin Bedford (1864-1954), this piece beautifully captures the essence of construction work during that time. Intriguingly accompanied by verse written by E. V. Lucas (Edward Verrall Lucas) (1868 – 1938), this image portrays a scene filled with bustling activity. A group of labourers, both male and female, can be seen engaged in their daily toil as they construct a building. The bricklayers skillfully arrange bricks while others transport cement using wheelbarrows and buckets. What makes this composition truly special is the inclusion of a child amidst all the hard work. Playing nearby with a spade in hand, this young observer seems fascinated by the process unfolding before them. It serves as a reminder that even amidst laborious tasks, there is still room for innocence and playfulness. Set against an idyllic garden backdrop, this historical lithograph provides us with insight into Edwardian-era construction practices and tradesmanship. The attention to detail in capturing each individual's role within the construction process showcases not only their physical strength but also their dedication to craftsmanship. As we admire this remarkable print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, it allows us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of modern-day construction techniques while also reminding us of
