EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Perspective View of a Lapping Room, 1791 2. Description: This print depicts an interior view of a lapping room, a crucial process in the production of linen cloth during the 18th century. The room is filled with men diligently working on the linen, each performing a specific task in the lapping process. To the right, a man measures the cloth with a ruler, while another folds the fabric into lengths. Another man picks up the laps or lengths of cloth and ties them with clips. In the foreground, a worker presses the cloth round and firm using the mechanic power of the laver, preparing it for sealing. The men work in unison, creating a well-oiled machine that contributes to the efficient production of linen. 3. Inscription: The print is inscribed by Wm. Hincks and is addressed to the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Kingsborough. The inscription reads, "To the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Kingsborough, ... this plate representing a perspective view of a lapping room, with the measuring, crisping or folding the cloth in lengths, picking the laps or lengths, tying in the clips, acting by the mechanic power of the laver to press the cloth round & firm, and sealing it preparatory to its going to the Linen Hall; is humbly inscribed by Wm. Hincks." 4. Historical Context: This print dates back to 1791, providing a unique glimpse into the linen manufacturing process during the Industrial Revolution. The lapping room was an essential component of the linen industry, and this print offers a fascinating look at the intricacies of the production process. The men in the print work together to transform raw linen into lengths that can be further processed and finished, contributing to the final product that would be sold in the Linen Hall or other markets. The print serves as a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of the laborers involved in the linen industry during this period.
