EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the late 19th century at the Hammersmith Carpet Weaving workshop located in Merton Abbey Mills, south London. The image showcases a female weaver diligently working at her loom, surrounded by the historic Abbey buildings that were transformed into textile printing facilities earlier in the century. Acquired by renowned artist and textile designer William Morris in 1881, these mills became instrumental in his carpet weaving endeavors. Prior to this acquisition, Morris had already begun crafting his first carpets at Kelmscott House, his residence in Hammersmith. The photograph offers a glimpse into the bustling interior of this textile factory during an era marked by mass production and industrialization. It highlights not only the skilled craftsmanship involved but also sheds light on women's contributions to Britain's thriving textile industry. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this historical snapshot, emphasizing its Victorian origins. As we observe this anonymous weaver engrossed in her occupation, it serves as a reminder of the countless individuals who dedicated their lives to perfecting their trade within these walls. Preserved through time by The Print Collector for future generations to appreciate, this image encapsulates both the rich heritage of British textiles and William Morris' significant impact on soft furnishings and fabric design.
