Painting Description
"The Bricklayer's Labourer" is an illustration from the early 19th-century publication "Ackermann's Repository of Arts," which was part of a larger series titled "The World in Miniature." Edited by Frederic Shoberl, "The World in Miniature" was a collection of books that provided detailed descriptions and colorful illustrations of the customs, costumes, and cultures of various nations around the world. The series was published by Rudolph Ackermann, an influential art publisher, printseller, and businessman in Regency-era London.
The illustration "The Bricklayer's Labourer" depicts a laborer involved in the bricklaying trade, a common occupation during the period. It is representative of the detailed genre scenes that were included in Ackermann's volumes, which were intended to educate and entertain the British public by providing insights into the lives of people from different social classes and occupations. The image would have been accompanied by text describing the laborer's role, attire, and the socio-economic context of his work.
Frederic Shoberl (1775-1853) was a British writer, editor, and translator known for his work on "The World in Miniature" and other publications that catered to the burgeoning interest in foreign cultures during the 19th century. His editorial contributions to "Ackermann's Repository of Arts" helped to make it one of the most popular illustrated periodicals of its time, with its mix of art, literature, and topical information.
As an illustration within a larger work, "The Bricklayer's Labourer" reflects the Regency era's fascination with the everyday lives of working people and the broader trend of documenting and categorizing different aspects of society through print media. The image would be of interest to historians, art historians, and cultural scholars studying the period's visual culture, social history, and the dissemination of knowledge through illustrated works.
