EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures James Stokeld's masterpiece, "Creature Comforts" painted in 1876. The oil on canvas artwork measures 61x50.2 cm and is proudly displayed at the Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens in Tyne & Wear, UK. The painting transports us to a bygone era where skilled tradesmen were revered for their craftsmanship.

Beside her stands a tinsmith or tinker with his trusty toolbox by his side, engrossed in mending an umbrella.

These everyday items remind us of the importance placed on practicality during this time period. As smoke gently rises from a pipe held by one of the male figures nearby, we are transported back to an era when smoking was commonplace while working or taking breaks. James Stokeld's "Creature Comforts" serves as both a tribute and documentation of these unsung heroes who brought comfort and functionality into
