The image showcases a male brush maker diligently working at his bench, meticulously preparing brushes for backing. Surrounding him are an array of brooms, brushes, and mops of various sizes, hinting at the vibrant industry and trade that thrived during this era. The Victorian setting is brought to life through the craftsman's attire - dressed in traditional clothing with an apron draped over his outfit. His focused expression reveals the dedication and expertise required for such a meticulous occupation. The woodcut style adds depth and character to the scene while also emphasizing the historical significance of this profession. It serves as a testament to the hardworking individuals who contributed to Britain's industrial growth during this period.
