EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Velveteen Cutting at Platts Works, Warrington, 1893-94" transports us back to a bustling room in the late 19th century. The image showcases rows of hardworking women standing behind long benches, engaged in the intricate art of velveteen cutting. Painted by Henry Edward Tidmarsh, this watercolor and gouache masterpiece measures 47.4x37.9 cm and is housed in the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery. The composition captures the essence of daily life during that era, with each woman focused on her task amidst a symphony of colors and textures. Tidmarsh's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every aspect of this historical scene. The artist's signature "H. E. T" can be found in the bottom right corner along with the number "154". The inscription reads "Velveteen Cutting at Platts Works, Warrington", providing valuable context for viewers. Purchased by Manchester Art Gallery in 1894, this artwork serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and industrial history. It offers an intimate glimpse into a specific moment within British manufacturing heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art has the power to preserve moments from our past while also inspiring contemplation about our present-day society.
