EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the past, taking us back to the 19th century. Titled "Making and polishing silex at Pressigny" it is an illustration from the book "L Homme Primitif" by Louis Figuier, published in 1870. The image showcases a workshop where laborers are diligently working on crafting and refining silex tools. The workers can be seen half-naked, their muscular bodies glistening with sweat as they skillfully manipulate rocks into useful implements. This glimpse into prehistoric times offers a fascinating insight into early human civilization. The atmosphere of the workshop is one of focused industry; each worker appears engrossed in their task, using various tools to shape the raw materials before them. The room itself is filled with piles of rocks waiting to be transformed into essential tools for survival. This engraving provides us with a window into our ancient ancestors' lives, highlighting their resourcefulness and ingenuity in utilizing natural resources to meet their needs. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come as a species while also acknowledging our shared history. Displayed proudly in this photo print, this historical moment captured by French School artists allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of these primitive workers and the importance of preserving our collective heritage.
