EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the meticulous process of inspecting a casket in Oneida, New York on April 3,1916. The image showcases a group of men diligently examining the wooden structure with utmost care and attention to detail. Their serious expressions reflect the gravity of their task as they ensure that every aspect meets the highest standards. This snapshot was taken by William Davis Hassler (1877-1921) for the National Casket Company, based in Oneida. It offers us a glimpse into an era when craftsmanship and precision were paramount in manufacturing industries. The workers' presence evokes a sense of pride and dedication to their craft. The composition highlights not only the individuals but also the industrial setting surrounding them. The workshop's atmosphere is filled with raw materials, tools, and unfinished caskets waiting to be perfected by skilled hands. This scene serves as a testament to American industry during this period. Preserved within the archives of the New-York Historical Society, this photograph stands as both an artifact from another time and an homage to those who labored behind closed doors to create something meaningful for others during times of grief. As we gaze upon this striking image today, it reminds us of our shared history while honoring those whose craftsmanship shaped our past.
