EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of glove cutters at work in Gloversville, New York State, USA, circa 1913. Gloversville, once known as the 'Gloves Capital of the World,' was a hub for the glove manufacturing industry in the early 1900s. In this photograph, we see several skilled craftsmen intently focused on their tasks, their faces etched with concentration as they expertly cut leather cloth to create the perfect fit for gloves. The men, dressed in aprons, work diligently at their benches, each bench equipped with a glove cutter and a pile of raw materials nearby. The interior of the workshop is filled with the aroma of fresh leather and the rhythmic sound of the cutters slicing through the material. The glove cutters' precision and dedication were essential to the glove-making process, making this trade a vital part of the local industry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of American manufacturing and the employment opportunities that existed during the 1910s.
