Colonial Industry Colonist Craftsman Cutting Sawyer Thirteen Colonies Wood Sawing
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this line engraving from the late 18th century, we are transported back to colonial America and introduced to a skilled craftsman known as the Colonial Sawyer. This depiction showcases an essential figure in the thriving colonial industry of woodcutting and sawing. The sawyer, dressed in traditional attire, stands proudly with his tools of trade - a large cutting saw held firmly in his hands. His hat shields him from the sun's rays as he diligently carries out his work. The lines etched by the engraver expertly capture both the physical exertion and concentration required for such laborious tasks. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into the life of this particular worker but also offers valuable insight into early American society during this period. As one of many colonists who contributed to building their new home on American soil, the sawyer played an integral role in shaping communities across thirteen colonies. Through this print, we can appreciate both the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating everyday essentials made from wood during this era. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and resilience while highlighting their ability to transform raw materials into functional objects that supported daily life. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical artifact for us to admire today, allowing us to connect with our past and gain appreciation for those who paved the way for future generations.
