EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1870s and witness the intricate world of a cooper's workshop, as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image showcases a selection of essential tools used by a cooper, or barrel maker, in France during this era. At the heart of the scene, a hammer with a distinctive rounded head rests on a wooden surface. This hammer, with its long handle and heavy head, was used to shape and form the wooden staves that would eventually be assembled to create barrels. The cooper would use the hammer to strike the staves, shaping them to fit together perfectly. To the right of the hammer lies a mallet, its head adorned with a smooth, flat surface. Mallets were used to gently tap and press staves into place, ensuring a tight seal and an airtight barrel. The mallet's soft head prevented damage to the delicate wood. A hatchet, with its sharp blade and wooden handle, is also featured in the photograph. This versatile tool was used for a variety of tasks, including cutting and shaping the wooden staves. The cooper would use the hatchet to trim excess wood and shape the staves to the desired size and shape. Lastly, a knife with a curved blade sits atop the collection of tools. This knife was used for finer detail work, such as trimming and carving the hoops that held the barrel together. The cooper's tools were essential to the cooper's trade, allowing them to create the intricately crafted barrels that were used to store and transport a wide range of goods during the 1870s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of the cooper's industry and the tools that shaped it.
