EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Carpenter, c1887" by Mortimer L Menpes takes us back to 19th century Japan. The image showcases a skilled craftsman immersed in his work, surrounded by the tools of his trade. Dressed in traditional attire, the carpenter's focused gaze and spectacles reveal his dedication to precision and attention to detail. The vibrant green hues of the surroundings create a serene atmosphere within this rustic interior setting. Wood shavings scattered on the floor bear witness to hours of laborious craftsmanship that have gone into creating intricate wooden masterpieces. Menpes' artistic portrayal not only captures the essence of Japanese culture but also highlights the significance of local industries during that era. This portrait serves as a testament to the timeless artistry and expertise possessed by craftsmen like him. Published in 1901 as part of Menpes' book "Japan - A Record in Colour" this print offers viewers a glimpse into an earlier time when handcrafted goods were highly valued. Through this image, we are reminded of the rich history and heritage associated with traditional trades such as carpentry. "The Carpenter" stands as a tribute to both Mortimer L Menpes' talent for capturing cultural nuances through color and light, as well as an homage to all those who dedicated their lives to preserving ancient craftsmanship techniques.
