EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Birmingham's Gun Quarter in the year 1973. Steff, the talented photographer behind this image, has beautifully captured a moment in time that showcases the craftsmanship of a skilled gunsmith. In this shot, we see the gunsmith meticulously crafting a stock for a shotgun at his workbench. Dressed in an apron and surrounded by various tools, he is completely engrossed in his craft. The workshop itself exudes an atmosphere of industry and hard work. The Gun Quarter was renowned for its thriving firearms industry during this era, and this photograph serves as a testament to that legacy. It offers us a glimpse into the employment opportunities that existed within this specialized field. The composition highlights every detail with precision - from the vice gripping onto the wooden piece to be shaped, to the array of tools neatly arranged on shelves nearby. This image not only captures a specific moment but also represents an entire era when such traditional skills were highly valued. Steff's print transports us back to 1970s England, where dedicated craftsmen like this gunsmith played their part in shaping history through their meticulous workmanship.
