EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 19th century - a model of a joiner's hand saw, dating back to approximately 1816. The intricate details of this tool are beautifully captured in the image, allowing us to appreciate its craftsmanship and historical significance. The joiner's hand saw is marked with a crown and WR patent, indicating its royal approval and patented design. Its steel blade and brass handle further emphasize the quality materials used in its construction. To provide perspective on its size, the photograph cleverly includes a coin as a scale reference. This artifact serves as an intriguing glimpse into the world of joinery during this era. Joiners were highly skilled craftsmen who specialized in woodworking, creating furniture, cabinetry, and other wooden structures. Their tools were essential for shaping wood with precision and finesse. The monochrome color palette chosen for this print adds an air of authenticity to the image while highlighting the fine details of both metal components. This visual representation was expertly preserved by The Print Collector from Oxford Science Archive. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only an object but also gain insight into an entire profession that played a vital role in shaping our material culture during the 19th century.
