EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to the perilous world of coal mining. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the intricate details and artistry of French School craftsmanship. It was originally published as an illustration in "Bebe Devient Savant" by Madame Doudet (Theodore Lefevre) in Paris around 1875. The scene depicts a bustling coal pit where workers can be seen laboring amidst the ever-present danger and risk associated with their occupation. A lorry and several wagons are parked nearby, serving as essential means of transport for both passengers and coal. The hitched wagonette demonstrates the coupling process necessary for efficient transportation within this industry. Coal, known as a vital source of fuel during this era, is prominently featured throughout the print. Its rich black color contrasts against vibrant hues that bring life to this historical moment. This engraving not only offers a glimpse into France's industrial past but also serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by those who worked tirelessly underground. It highlights an important chapter in European history when industries like coal mining played a significant role in shaping economies and societies. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece with utmost care, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its artistic beauty.
