EDITORS COMMENTS
The Spinster, engraved by Thomas Cheesman (1760-c. 1834), pub. by John & Josiah Boydell, 1789 captures the essence of a hardworking and independent woman in the 18th century. This exquisite stipple engraving, part of a pair with another artwork by George Romney, is now housed in a private collection. The image depicts a female spinner engrossed in her work, skillfully operating her spinning wheel. The intricate details captured by Cheesman's masterful engraving technique bring to life the dedication and concentration of this anonymous spinster. The subject evokes thoughts of Emma Hamilton, an influential figure during that era known for her beauty and talent as well as being the mistress of Lord Nelson. However, it is important to note that this particular artwork does not directly reference Hamilton; rather it represents countless women who contributed to society through their laborious tasks. This print serves as a testament to the unsung heroines whose diligent efforts powered industries such as textiles during this period. It reminds us of their invaluable contributions and resilience despite societal limitations placed upon them. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from English art history, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its cultural significance today.
