EDITORS COMMENTS
Trades in Regency England: A Glimpse into the World of Blacksmiths, Jappanners, and Goat Herders This woodcut engraving, titled "Trades in Regency England," offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of various tradespeople during the Regency period in England (1811-1820). The image, taken from Rev. Isaac Taylor's Scenes of British Wealth, in Produce, Manufacture and Commerce, published in London in 1823, showcases three distinct trades: a blacksmith, a jappanner, and goat herders. In the foreground, a blacksmith, dressed in traditional Regency attire, stands before a roaring forge in the Forest of Dean. He holds a hammer in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other, ready to shape hot metal. The smoke from the forge billows into the air, creating an atmosphere of industry and hard labor. To the right, a man proudly displays a japanned or lacquered tray in Pontypool. Japanning was a popular form of decorative art during the Regency period, involving the application of a varnish made from the sap of the lacquer tree. The man's attire suggests that he is a jappanner, a skilled artisan who created these intricately designed trays. In the background, wild goats graze in the Pembroke Hills. Goat herding was a common occupation in rural areas during this time, providing both meat and milk for local communities. The goats' agile movements and the rugged terrain of the hills serve as a stark contrast to the more industrial trades depicted in the foreground. This engraving offers a rich and diverse portrayal of Regency England, showcasing the various trades that contributed to the country's wealth and industry during this period. From the blacksmith's forge to the jappanner's artistry, and the goat herder's simple yet essential labor, this image provides a captivating snapshot of life in Regency England.
