EDITORS COMMENTS
BOSTON: WOODCUTTERS, c1900. Capturing the essence of early 20th-century Boston, this photograph transports us to Chardon Street, where a group of hardworking men are engaged in the timeless task of sawing and chopping wood. Taken by renowned photographer Charles Henry Currier around 1900, this image offers a glimpse into the bustling city streets and the laborious lives of its working class. Intriguing details emerge as we explore the scene; from their sturdy clothing adorned with bowler caps to their determined expressions etched on weathered faces. The men skillfully wield axes and saws against towering logs stacked high against a brick wall. Sawhorses provide support as they meticulously cut through each piece of timber, creating an impressive pile that will soon warm homes during chilly New England winters. This snapshot captures not only physical labor but also represents an era when manual work was at the heart of urban life. It symbolizes resilience, determination, and unity within a community striving for progress amidst rapid industrialization. The Granger Collection's print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Currier's composition and its historical significance in documenting turn-of-the-century Bostonian life. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us – individuals who shaped cities like Boston through their unwavering dedication and craftsmanship.
