Occupations 1883 - The Chairmender This photograph, taken in the year 1883, showcases the daily life of a chairmender during the Victorian era. The man, dressed in a top hat and carrying a stack of wooden chairs, exudes a sense of pride and dedication to his craft. The trade of chairmending, a type of carpentry, was an essential occupation during this time, as chairs were a common piece of furniture in every household. The man in the photograph is seen carrying a stack of repaired chairs, ready to be sold or delivered to customers. His worn-out work clothes and the tools spread around him indicate that he has spent the day mending and restoring chairs to their former glory. The presence of a few finished chairs in the background further emphasizes his skill and expertise in this trade. The photograph captures the essence of the 1880s, with its Victorian-era attire, traditional workwear, and the use of woodwork as a primary material for furniture production. The man's determined expression and the focus on his occupation provide a glimpse into the daily life of a tradesman during this period. Occupations 1883 - The Chairmender is a fascinating image that offers a unique insight into the world of work during the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the importance of skilled labor and the dedication required to master a trade, even in the most seemingly ordinary of professions.
