EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1911-1912, we catch a glimpse of the delicate craftsmanship involved in watch cap making. The artist, AL Hitchin, beautifully captures the essence of an aged artisan at work. With rolled-up sleeves and a focused expression on his face, this Edwardian gentleman demonstrates unwavering concentration as he meticulously creates each cap. The man's grey hair adds to his distinguished appearance, while his spectacles rest upon his nose, aiding him in perfecting every intricate detail. His hands move with precision and expertise as he skillfully manipulates the fabric before him. Seated at his wooden bench adorned with various tools of the trade, this watch cap maker embodies a bygone era when handcrafted items were valued for their quality and artistry. The monochrome aesthetic further emphasizes the timeless nature of his craft. As we observe this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to appreciate the dedication and passion that went into creating such functional yet beautiful accessories. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving traditional skills that have stood the test of time. AL Hitchin's print transports us back to an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme and reminds us to cherish those who continue to uphold these traditions today.
