This print by Paul Felix showcases the art of coopering, featuring Alastair Simms, one of the last coopers working at Wadworth Brewery in Devizes, Wiltshire. The image transports us to a world steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. In this mesmerizing composition, we witness Simms skillfully crafting beer barrels using age-old techniques passed down through generations. His weathered hands expertly wield tools that have stood the test of time, shaping wood with precision and finesse. Every detail speaks volumes about the rich history behind this trade. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era when handmade crafts were revered and celebrated. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to heritage and how these traditional trades played an integral role in shaping our society. Paul Felix's masterful lens not only freezes a moment in time but also immortalizes an entire industry on the brink of extinction.
