Thimble njengento yokuqokelela

I-thimble yimbozo ebeka phezu komnwe ukuyikhusela xa iphosa inaliti xa ityula.

I-thimble inembali ende. Umzekelo omdala kakhulu okhoyo owu-Roman bronze thimble ofunyenwe kwiindawo ezinxuwa zasePompeii. Izithintelo zokuqala zethambo kunye nekhumba, mhlawumbi nazo zikhoyo, zazisetyenziswa ngamaziko onke. Ngelishwa, ezi zithintela azilondolozi.

Ngethuba lexesha lezithintelo zenziwa ngeendlela eziliqela. Zomibini izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo kunye neendlela zokuvelisa kwazo zitshintshile kakhulu. Iimpawu zenzeke ngokutsha kwaye zenziwa ngokuyinhloko ngokuzibumba kunye nokuqokelelana, kwaye kungekhona nje kuphela izinto zokusebenza zokuthunga.
Ekuqaleni, izithintelo zomeleleyo, kuba indwangu yamakhaya yayinzima, iinaliti zazinzima kwaye zingaphelele. Kwakunzima kakhulu ukutshixa intambo ngokusebenzisa izicubu ngamandla, kwaye ukukhusela ukulimala, kwakudinga ubhedu obunzima okanye isinyithi, esabizwa ngokuthi "isidleke" okanye "ibhasikidi". Ngasinye saqulunqwa sisitye sibe ngumbumba. Iimbumba eziphezulu zale ntshukumo zangaphambili zenziwa ngesandla kwaye zazingalingani. Ezi zinto ezincinci, izinto ezincinci zazilawulwa kwaye zazingekho. Abanye babenomngxuma phezulu ukuze babambelele kwinkqubo yokukhangela.

Kwiminyaka ye-XV, intsimbi yaba yincinci, kwaye i-needlework yahlaziywa ngakumbi. Iziqwenga zazincipha. Bona, njengomthetho, zenziwa zethusi kwaye zaziswe ukusuka eNuremberg. Ngelo xesha, iindlela ezintsha zokuthintela izinto ezenziwe ngamashishini zenziwe zenziwe. Amathambo amatsha aqala ukudibanisa ukuyila. Umphezulu wawuhlukileyo kwaye wajoyina isilinda kamuva. Le mveliso emitsha yayiphezulu, kwaye phezulu kwakukho iplati.

Olunye uhlobo lwama-thimbles, olubizwa ngokuthi "umgca wokuthunga" okanye "ulungelelanisa", luye lwabonakala ngeli xesha. Kwakuyi-thimble encinci ephezulu. Olu hlobo lusetyenziswe xa inaliti idlula kwiisuncu ngecala lomnwe, kungekhona phezulu.

Ngokuhamba kwexesha, i-titble elula, i-utilitarian yaqala "ukugqoka" kwizinto zokugqoka kunye neensimbi ezixabisekileyo kwaye zikhokele ubomi obuseseko njengesipho. Abafazi abazizityebi babenemisebenzi yokudibanisa kunye, ngoko kwakungokwemvelo ukuba uElizabhete I ndifumane iparele edibene ne-thimble njengesipho.
Ngexesha le-16 nele-17 leminyaka, i-Holland yaba yikhungo esitsha sokuveliswa kwamathambo. Nangona kunjalo, ekupheleni kwekhulu le-17 uJohn Loftin washukumisela ukuveliswa kwakhe e-Islington (eNgilani), apho kwakusungulwe khona i-copper smelting industry. Waqala ukuvelisa izithintelo kwizinga elingekho ngaphambili. Kamva, washukumisela isityalo sakhe kwi-Great Marlow kwaye wasebenzisa amandla wamanzi ukuphindwa kabini kwemveliso. Ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-XVIII uvelisa i-2 million thimbles ngonyaka. Kodwa naye wanqotshwa yinkqubela ye-thimble waza wanquma ukufudukela kwi-1800 eBirmingham, eNgilani.

Emva kwexesha, ukubunjwa kobhedu kuphuculwe. Ifom entsha iyenze ibe yinto eguquguqukayo kwaye ifanelekele enye inkqubo yokuvelisa, ebizwa ngokuthi "umzobo ojulile", osebenzisa isinyithi esincinci. Oku kunciphise iindleko zemveliso.

Ngekhulu le-16, abavelisi baqala ukuvelisa izithintelo kwisiliva nakwezinye izinto ezinqabileyo. Ngenxa yokuba i-silver thimble iyinto encane, kwaye inaliti iqhutywe ngendwangu, inkunzi yaqiniswa ngetsimbi. Uhlobo oluqhelekileyo lokuqokelela izithintelo lubizwa ngokuthi "iDorcas".

Iimpawu zenziwa kwi-porcelain kwiinkampani ezifana ne-Spode kunye ne-Wedgewood. Kwaye nangona bebaninzi kunokwakheka kwenkumbulo kunokuba sixhobo esinamandla, besasetyenziselwa ukuthunga ngelikalika.

Ukusa kwexesha lika- Victori kubonisa ukuqala kokuqokelela izithintelo. Iindlela zaba ngcono, kwaye abantu baqala ukuhamba. I-World Exhibition, eyayibanjwe kwi-Hyde Park eLondon, ithande izihlwele ezininzi zeendwendwe. Ukukhunjulwa kwesi siganeko, kukhutshwa isikhumbuzo sokukhunjulwa. Ingcamango yokukhunjulwa okukhunjulwayo abaqokelelwa abaqokeleli. Ngelo xesha, ngoxa uncedo lwentengiso, izithintelo zaziwa ngokubanzi phakathi kwabantu.

Kwixesha lama-Victori, i-silver thimble yaba isipho esifanelekileyo, ingakumbi kwibhinqa evela kwindoda. Abafazi base-Victori bembatha iintambo zesifuba njengesixhobo esibizwa ngokuthi "umsikazi wendlu", apho izixhobo zokuthunga, ezifana nezikhambanci ezincinci kunye nenaliti, zingaqhotyoshelweyo. Iziqwenga zazingqineka kwiimbobo zokuhlobisa ezinokuqhotyoshelwe kule kholeji. Ngamanye amaxesha ityala lisuswa kwi-thimble, kwaye i-thimble ingasetyenziswa njengentsimbi.

Sonke siyaqonda ngokucacileyo ukuba ukuthunga kuyinjongo ephambili ye-thimble. Kodwa ngaba uyayazi ukuba ama-thimbles amancinci, ngokuqhelekileyo ukuya kwii-ounces ezimbini, asetyenziselwa ukulinganisa amafutha? Ngaba wayesazi ukuba ngehenyukazi le-19 leminyaka wayetyenziselwa ukutsala abathengi ngokubetha kwiifestile zabo? Kwaye abafundisi be-Victori bawasebenzisa ukubetha abafundi abangathobeliyo entloko?

Amanqabana anamhlanje ayasetyenziswa ekukhutsheni, ukuthungula izandla zaseFransi kunye nezinye iintlobo zentsimbi yokuhlobisa. Xa ukuthungwa kwezinto eziqhelekileyo kwakungabonakali kakhulu, ukusetyenziswa kwamathambo okuncinci kwancipha. Iimpawu ziba yizinto ezinokubhenela. Kodwa le meko ayinxalenye ekunciphiseni abo banomdla kubaqokeleli be-thimble banamhlanje. Iimpawu zokuqala, ezenziwe ekuqaleni ngesilivere, ziphinda zibulele kwi-tin zibulela kwiinkqubo ezintsha eziphuhlisiwe kuma-1950, ezivumela ukufumana ikopi echanekileyo yeesampuli ze-antique. Uchungechunge olutsha lwee-thimbles lukhutshwa kwimemori yezinto zonke, ukusuka ekunqobeni amaqela ekhatywayo kunye nokuphela ngabalinganiswa be-Disney. Ivenkile nganye yezokhenketho inika izithintelo zokukhumbula abavakhenkethi. Uninzi, mhlawumbi, awazi nokuba uyisebenzisa njani.

Ukuqokelela izithintelo yinto edlawayo kakhulu kwihlabathi. Iimveliso ezininzi zithengiswa ngexabiso elifanelekileyo kwaye zifikeleleka lula. Amadoda, amabhinqa nabantwana bawaqokelela. Abanye abaqokeleli banomdla kwiimbali zamatye, ngelixa abanye baqokelela njengento yokuhlobisa. Iiklabhu zokuqokelela zikhona yonke indawo. I-Intanethi ngoku iqokelele abaqokeleli emhlabeni jikelele. Ukuqokelela kwakhona kwavelisa i-boom ekuveliseni iimveliso ezinxulumene nazo, ezifana ne-shelving, iikhabinethi kunye nekhaya.

Ukuqhaqhayisa ukukhangela kwakuba yinkwenkwezi. Abanye bayamangaliswa ngenxa yemvelaphi yakhe ethobekileyo, ezinye zezinto ezitholakalayo ezitsha. Le ngenye yezona zinto zisebenzisekayo xa ziyimfuneko.
