Description
This red oil can sits at the ready on the tray of this vintage chain-stitch machine in a shoemaker's shop. Beside it are other tools of the shoemaker's trade.
It is such a vivid red that it stands out and made me think of William Carlos Williams poem, The Red Wheelbarrow. And the first few lines could mimic that of the poem -
so much depends
upon
a red oil
can
smudged with grease
stains
