Set among the workers and the stove of a tailor's shop, this scene was made as a classroom teaching aid rather than as a parlor picture. It belongs to Prang's Aids for Object Teaching, a series of colorful lithographs issued by Louis Prang, the Boston printer known for chromolithography. In the object-teaching method popular in American schools in the later 1800s, teachers used such pictures to get children to observe tools, materials and daily work closely. A tailor at his trade offered a view of how clothing was once made by hand, before ready-made garments became common.
