Created by an English School artist, this print showcases the skill and artistry of a glass blower at work. The image is part of "The Book of Trades, or Circle of Useful Arts" which was published in 1852. It serves as an illustration for this comprehensive book that aimed to document various professions and careers prevalent at the time. In this particular scene, we see the glass blower engrossed in his craft. With intense focus, he delicately shapes molten glass using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring to life not only the physicality but also the dedication required in mastering such a profession. This artwork provides valuable insight into early 19th-century economics and industrial practices. It highlights how tradespeople played vital roles in producing goods essential for society's needs.
