EDITORS COMMENTS
The Treadle spinning wheel, c1880. A glimpse into the industrious world of 19th-century Britain, this print showcases the intricate beauty of a textile worker's essential tool. Created by RC and featured in Great Industries of Great Britain, Volume I, published by Cassell Petter and Galpin in London, Paris, and New York around 1880. In this monochrome masterpiece, we witness a mother immersed in her occupation as she skillfully operates the treadle spinning wheel. Her focused expression reveals both dedication to her craft and tender care for her baby nestled beside her. The presence of a child's toy doll nearby suggests that even amidst work responsibilities, motherhood remains at the forefront. The spinning wheel itself stands as an emblem of Victorian industry and progress. Its delicate spindle spins thread with precision while yarn gracefully flows from its mechanism. This engraving captures not only the machine's functionality but also its artistic allure. RC expertly portrays the interconnectedness between women's roles within society during this era - simultaneously juggling their professional duties with nurturing their families. Through his artistry, he pays homage to these unsung heroines who played pivotal roles in shaping British textile industries. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance – an exquisite portrayal of life during the height of industrialization.
