EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plasterer Smoking a Cigar, Trowel in Hand" takes us back to the 1860s-70s in America. The creator of this enigmatic image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the scene. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a working man immersed in his craft, proudly holding a trowel while enjoying a cigar. The monochrome color scheme emphasizes the grit and determination etched on the plasterer's face as he goes about his job. His overalls speak volumes about his hard work and dedication to his profession. The applied color technique used on this tintype adds depth and character to an otherwise stark composition. This portrait not only captures one man's occupation but also serves as a testament to the spirit of labor that defined 19th-century America. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of those who built our country from scratch with their bare hands. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece invites viewers to reflect upon the untold stories behind every anonymous worker who contributed their sweat and skill towards shaping our nation's history. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of their resilience and unwavering commitment that continues to inspire generations today.
