Cutlery George Industry Portraits
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives showcases a remarkable individual, George Wostenholm. Born in 1800 and departing this world in 1876, Wostenholm left an indelible mark on the cutlery industry. The image captures him during his tenure as a prominent cutler at Messrs George Wostenholm and Son Ltd. , based at the esteemed Washington Works. With an air of confidence and expertise radiating from his portrait, it is evident that George Wostenholm was not merely a businessman but also a true artisan. His dedication to craftsmanship elevated him to legendary status within the cutlery realm. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. The Bland Collection has preserved this invaluable piece of history, allowing us to glimpse into the life of one of Sheffield's most influential figures. As we admire this print, we are transported back in time to an era when skilled artisans like Wostenholm played pivotal roles in shaping industries. It is worth noting that this caption refrains from mentioning any commercial use or focusing solely on the company itself; instead, it emphasizes George Wostenholm's personal achievements and contributions. Through this image, we honor not only his memory but also pay homage to all those who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft and leaving behind lasting legacies for future generations.
