EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolitho print from the 19th century showcases the versatility of scissors in a multitude of tasks. The image captures a range of jobs where these sharp tools are indispensable. From advertising to cutting, hobbies to haircuts, upholstery to needlework, and even barbering, this artwork highlights the many uses of scissors. The composition is filled with lively scenes depicting people engaged in various activities involving scissors. A child carefully cuts apples from a tree while others engage in sewing or crafting projects. The T. B Terry Company and H. J Danels are subtly mentioned but not emphasized as this print aims to celebrate the universal tool rather than promote any specific brand or commercial use. The colors used in this chromolitho bring life and vibrancy to each scene, making it visually captivating for viewers. It serves as a reminder that scissors have been an essential part of human life for centuries, enabling us to create and shape our surroundings. This particular print is part of a private collection belonging to Barbara Loe and is now available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of everyday tasks but also as an emblematic representation of how simple tools can empower individuals across different generations and cultures.
