EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by A. Paris takes us on a visual journey to the salt mines of Koulpe in Armenia. The print, created to illustrate Madame B. Chantre's story "A travers l Armenie russe, Karabagh, vallee de l Araxe, massif de l Ararat" transports us back to the year 1892. In this intricate artwork, we see an arduous scene of labor as Armenian miners work tirelessly in the depths of the earth. Their determination is evident as they navigate through dimly lit tunnels with their trusty transport vehicles and loyal animals by their side. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this challenging profession, showcasing both the physical demands and resourcefulness required in extracting salt from these ancient mines. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing the harsh conditions faced by these hardworking individuals. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that lies within Armenia's natural resources. This engraving serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity throughout history. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting a vital aspect of Armenian industry during that era.
