EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Plumber" showcases the skilled craftsmanship and tools of a plumber's trade. The print, part of a private collection, was originally featured in An Illustrated Vocabulary For The Use Of The Deaf And Dumb published by SPCK in 1857. In this detailed illustration, we are transported to a bustling workshop where workmen diligently ply their trade. Various implements such as chased wedges, ladles, shave hooks, turnpins, chisels, screwdrivers, hammers and soldering irons adorn the scene. These tools represent the essential arsenal required for plumbing tasks during that era. The Victorian-era plumber depicted here epitomizes manual labor and dedication to his craft. With focused determination and expertise honed over years of experience, he skillfully works on casting lead pipes or fixing intricate plumbing systems with meticulous precision. This image not only captures the essence of an important profession but also serves as a testament to the vital role plumbers played in society during this period. Their contribution ensured functional sanitation systems and efficient water supply networks for both domestic and industrial purposes. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection today, let us appreciate the legacy left behind by these unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our communities running smoothly.
