"Whalebone Scrapers, from Costume of Yorkshire, engraved by Robert Havell (1769-1832) 1814 by George Walker, is a significant work that provides a vivid portrayal of early 19th-century Yorkshire life. This engraving is part of a larger collection titled 'The Costume of Yorkshire,' which was published in 1814 and aimed to document the various occupations, attire, and daily activities of the people in Yorkshire during that period. George Walker, the artist behind the original illustrations, collaborated with Robert Havell, a renowned engraver, to bring these scenes to life with remarkable detail and accuracy.

The term 'whalebone scrapers' refers to individuals involved in the processing of whalebone, a material derived from the baleen plates of whales, which was commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries for various purposes, including the stiffening of corsets and the manufacture of other goods. The engraving captures the essence of this labor-intensive occupation, showcasing the tools and techniques employed by the workers. The depiction is not only a testament to the craftsmanship of the engraver but also serves as an important historical record of the industrial practices of the time.

Walker’s 'The Costume of Yorkshire' is celebrated for its ethnographic value, providing insights into the social and economic conditions of the region. Each plate in the collection, including 'Whalebone Scrapers,' is accompanied by descriptive text that offers context and commentary on the illustrated scenes. This work is particularly notable for its attention to detail and the accuracy with which it represents the clothing, tools, and environments of Yorkshire's working class.

The collaboration between George Walker and Robert Havell resulted in a series of engravings that are not only artistically impressive but also invaluable for historians and researchers studying the period. 'Whalebone Scrapers' stands out as a poignant example of how art can document and preserve the nuances of everyday life, providing future generations with a window into the past."
