A Woman and Eight Carpenters Posed Outdoors, 1880s
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of carpentry in late 19th century America. In this photograph, we see a group portrait of nine individuals - one woman and eight men - proudly showcasing their trade amidst the backdrop of nature. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie as the carpenters stand or sit together, each holding their tools with confidence. The woman stands at the center, challenging traditional gender roles by actively participating in what was predominantly considered a male-dominated profession during that era. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - women wearing long dresses while men don overalls and hats to shield themselves from sun exposure. The meticulous details captured by an unknown photographer highlight not only their clothing but also various tools such as hammers, rulers, and carpenter squares scattered around them. This tintype print serves as a testament to hard work and dedication within an occupation that played a crucial role in shaping America's architectural landscape. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it offers us a window into history; reminding us of the diverse range of professions pursued by both men and women during this period. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded to celebrate those who defied societal norms to pursue their passions while honoring our shared heritage rooted in craftsmanship.
