Closely Courts Lawyers Operations Resemble Roof Roofing Tiled Tiles Tiling Made
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, we witness the meticulous process of tiling the temple roof, an intricate operation that took place while the Law Courts were on their annual holiday recess. The temple, a historic landmark, required the attention of skilled craftsmen to maintain its grandeur and integrity. The new tiles, carefully crafted to resemble the old ones as closely as possible, are being laid out on the temple roof. The artisans are focused intently on their task, ensuring each tile fits seamlessly with the next, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. The old tiles, weathered by time and the elements, serve as a testament to the temple's rich history and the countless stories it holds. In the background, the imposing figure of the Law Courts stands tall, a symbol of justice and order. The contrast between the ancient temple and the modern Law Courts highlights the juxtaposition of tradition and progress. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the rhythm of life was dictated by the changing of the seasons and the need for regular maintenance of historic buildings. The tiling operation was a labor-intensive process, requiring patience, precision, and a deep appreciation for the craft. The new tiles, while not exact replicas of the old ones, were made to preserve the temple's unique character and beauty. This photograph is a testament to the importance of preserving our heritage, and the dedication of those who work tirelessly to maintain it for future generations.
