We all romanticize about the mystique of these antique trunks. The possible owners and travels that each antique trunk has taken, along with the high level of detailed craftsmanship in the original production of each and every antique trunk with that individualized character which we all desire, giving both intrinsic and non-intrinsic value. |
It was a common practice that loyal and productive craftsmen would be allowed to bring their children to work with them to learn a craft, so many of the children in this photograph were more than likely sons of the men shown. |
