EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cobblers 1887" by John Parker Davis takes us back in time to witness the craftsmanship and dedication of American cobblers in the late 19th century. The wood engraving technique used by Davis adds a touch of nostalgia, enhancing our appreciation for this forgotten art form. In this scene, we are transported to a small cobbler's workshop bustling with activity. A group of skilled cobblers is immersed in their work, hunched over their benches with intense concentration. Their weathered hands expertly handle leather and tools as they meticulously craft shoes that will withstand the test of time. The composition exudes a sense of camaraderie among these craftsmen who share not only their workspace but also their passion for creating functional works of art. The dim lighting casts long shadows on the worn wooden floorboards, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Through this wood engraving, Davis pays homage to these unsung heroes whose dedication ensured that people could walk comfortably through life. It serves as a reminder that even in an era dominated by industrialization and mass production, there were still individuals committed to preserving traditional skills and maintaining high standards of craftsmanship. As we admire "Cobblers 1887" let us take a moment to appreciate the legacy left behind by those like John Parker Davis - artists who immortalized everyday scenes through their talent and provided us with glimpses into history's forgotten corners.
