EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1887, we are transported back to a time when societal norms dictated the roles women were expected to fulfill. The image showcases a young lady diligently tuning a grand piano, her focused expression revealing both determination and skill. During the 19th century, piano tuning was deemed an appropriate occupation for young ladies who found themselves in need of earning a living. In this profession, they could utilize their musical talents while conforming to the expectations placed upon them by Victorian society. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this era, with its intricate details highlighting not only the woman's delicate features but also the elegance of the grand piano itself. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting us into a world where music played an integral role in daily life. This portrait serves as a testament to women's resilience and ingenuity during an era when opportunities for independent employment were limited. It reminds us that even in times of adversity, individuals can find ways to pursue their passions and contribute meaningfully to society. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by an unknown creator, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and empowerment. This image stands as a tribute not only to one woman's dedication but also as inspiration for future generations striving towards breaking down barriers and pursuing their dreams without limitations.
