EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Surveyor" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of manual labor and professions. The engraving showcases an English School's illustration for an educational book designed for the deaf and dumb in 1857. In this intricate scene, we see a group of diligent workmen engaged in various tasks related to surveying. They are surrounded by an array of tools that define their trade: compasses, t-squares, tape measures, penknives, and even a box of instruments. These skilled individuals meticulously measure land using beam compasses and Gunters chains while consulting maps with parallel rules. The image highlights the importance of accuracy and precision required in this industry as they use level devices like theodolites to ensure precise measurements. The surveyors' dedication is evident as they diligently record data on their plans using mathematical pens and pencils. This snapshot from Victorian times reminds us of the vital role played by surveyors in shaping our landscapes through their expertise. It also serves as a tribute to all those who have contributed to industries reliant on accurate mapping such as real estate agents or manufacturing companies. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images, let it serve as a reminder that every profession has its own set of implements which enable individuals to create meaningful contributions within society.
