EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional London trades in 1926, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of locksmiths, gold-beaters, and farriers. In the top left corner, locksmiths can be seen meticulously cutting key-barrels on a machine that has been in use for over 140 years at the Bramah Lock Company. The top right image depicts an employee operating a spring-winding machine at Bramah with precision and expertise.
Moving to the bottom left corner, we are transported to Devonshire Street where gold-beaters practice their ancient craft of shaping and thinning gold into delicate sheets. Their meticulous work is a testament to the dedication and skill required in this trade.
Finally, in the lower right corner, we glimpse into The City Farrier's shop in Clerkenwell - a rare sight as it was one of the last remaining smithies in this part of London during that time. The blacksmith's forge burns brightly as he hammers away at metal with strength and finesse.
Each image tells a story of tradition, hard work, and artistry passed down through generations. It is a reminder of London's rich history as a hub for skilled tradesmen who have shaped the cityscape with their talents.
