Useful Trades (No. 13) Art Print

This hand-colored print, titled Useful Trades (No. 13), showcases eight essential professions from the 19th century through small vignettes. A barber trims a customer's hair while a wig stand sits nearby, and a painter is depicted working on a wall. A grazier tends to his cattle, overseeing their health, while a doctor examines a woman's wrist, possibly checking her pulse. A hostler, responsible for stable work, carries a bucket, while a cooper hammers a wooden cask, highlighting the craft of barrel-making. A farrier is seen fitting a horseshoe to a horse, ensuring its hooves are properly cared for. Finally, in a more dramatic scene, a practitioner is drawing a tooth from a distressed child. Likely intended for educational purposes, this print serves as a visual representation of skilled labor in daily life.

These prints are printed on a fine quality ivory paper.
