EDITORS COMMENTS
The Carder, engraved by Augrand, c. 1816 (coloured engraving) captures the essence of a female worker in early 19th century France. In this remarkable print from the private collection of Madame G. Busset-Dubruste, we witness a moment frozen in time - a skilled artisan engrossed in her craft. Seated with utmost concentration, the carder is seen preparing wool using hand cards, an essential tool for carding fibers and aligning them for spinning. Her three-quarter length figure exudes strength and determination as she meticulously works on each strand of wool. This image offers us a glimpse into the world of empire trade during this period. The French Empire was known for its flourishing textile industry, and women played a vital role in its success. They were often employed as workers in various stages of production – from carding to weaving – showcasing their expertise and dedication. The artist's attention to detail is evident through every stroke of color that brings life to this engraving. The vibrant hues beautifully enhance the texture and depth of the scene while capturing the spirit of industriousness that defined this era. 'The Carder' serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation, reminding us of the invaluable contributions made by women like her throughout history.
