EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to London circa 1845, where we witness a skilled bricklayer diligently working on a wooden scaffold. The image is beautifully hand-coloured, adding an artistic touch to the scene. At the top of the engraving, we see a bustling brickyard, filled with stacks of bricks ready to be transformed into magnificent structures. To the right of our focal point stands another worker engaged in mixing mortar, an essential task for any construction project. The wooden scaffold serves as both a platform and support system for the bricklayer as he meticulously places each brick with precision and expertise. His level and hack tools are within arm's reach, showcasing his mastery over his craft. This particular wood engraving comes from a children's book published during that era in London. It not only captures the essence of construction work but also provides young readers with insight into various trades and skills involved in building projects. The vibrant colours bring life to this historical snapshot while highlighting the importance of craftsmanship passed down through generations. This image reminds us of the dedication and hard work required to create enduring architectural marvels that shape our cities today
