EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century steel engraving, titled "Threading the Needle" offers a glimpse into the domestic world of sewing during that era. The print, created by an English artist named Michael William Sharp, beautifully captures a scene of a seated seamstress engrossed in her work. With utmost precision and accuracy, she skillfully threads the needle with delicate thread. The composition showcases various elements that were integral to sewing in the 19th century. A wooden table is adorned with sewing tools such as pins and an hourglass for keeping time. The seamstress wears a traditional head dress while donning glasses to aid her vision during intricate stitching. This image provides us with insight into daily life during this period when women played a crucial role in creating garments through their exceptional craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to their dedication and expertise in producing clothing items by hand.
