Boiling Clock Dedicated Downe Moira Reel Reeling Representing Respectfully Spinning Spot Yarn Hincks


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite plate, dedicated to the Right Honourable The Earl of Moira, is a captivating representation of daily life in the County of Down during the year 1791. Taken on the spot where the scene unfolds, the image showcases an intimate interior view of a dwelling, where four women are deeply engrossed in their domestic duties. The women are shown spinning, reeling, and boiling yarn, a common practice during this era. The oldest woman sits by the fireplace, her hands nimbly working the spindle as she spins the raw wool into yarn. Another woman, seated at the table, skillfully feeds the yarn into the reel, while another woman winds the yarn onto the clock reel, ensuring a consistent and even thread. The fourth woman tends to the boiling yarn in a large pot, ensuring it is properly prepared for weaving or knitting. The inclusion of the clock reel is a nod to the efficiency and productivity that was valued during this time. The women work in harmony, each contributing to the process of transforming raw wool into usable yarn. The scene is a testament to the industrious nature of rural communities during the late 18th century, and the importance of domestic industries in providing for their families. This beautiful plate, created by Wm. Hincks, is respectfully dedicated to The Earl of Moira, a nobleman of distinction. The meticulous attention to detail in the image, from the women's clothing to the furnishings in the room, speaks to the skill and artistry of the printmaker. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasures of daily life were cherished and celebrated.
