This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the intricate engraving of "Charbonnieres adorning the statue of Saint Barbe". Taken from "Le journal de la jeunesse" in 1885, this artwork by an unknown 19th-century artist is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a young girl carefully placing charbonnieres (coal) on the statue of Saint Barbe. This act symbolizes labor and devotion to the coal mining industry, which was significant during that time in France. The holy figure's serene expression contrasts with the girl's focused determination as she carries out her duty. The composition highlights both religious and industrial elements, blending faith and work seamlessly. The presence of Saint Barbe represents protection for miners while also acknowledging their contribution to society. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on religion within French culture during this era. Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully captured this historical scene through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. With its rich symbolism and attention to detail, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into the past - an era where women played vital roles in various industries despite societal limitations.
