EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to an 18th century French quarry, where the ancient craft of plaster production is underway. Dating from around 1760, this scene showcases the labor-intensive process of extracting raw plaster from the earth and transporting it to the kiln for processing. The quarryman and his team of horses are depicted in the foreground, carefully extracting blocks of plaster from the quarry face using simple tools. The horses, powerful and steadfast, are harnessed to large carts, which are filled to capacity with the heavy, rough-hewn plaster. Their muscular forms glisten with sweat, a testament to the physical demands of the job. In the background, a plaster kiln stands tall and imposing, its chimney billowing smoke into the sky. The kiln is the heart of the operation, where the raw plaster is transformed into its final form through a process of heating and calcination. The horses and their drivers make multiple trips to and from the quarry, their efforts fueling the production of this essential building material. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of 18th century stoneworking, a time when human labor and animal power were the driving forces behind industry. The scene is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the human spirit, as well as the enduring appeal of the natural world and the crafts that draw from it.
