EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1913 takes us back in time to Antioch, Turkey, where the silk industry was thriving. The image showcases a crucial step in the silk production process - deadening worms inside their cocoons using steam. In this snapshot of history, we witness children working diligently alongside adults as they carefully handle the delicate silk cocoons. The young workers are seen tending to large pots filled with boiling water, which release steam into the air. This technique effectively kills the silkworms within their protective casings before extracting the valuable silk threads. The setting is enchanting; an idyllic mulberry tree stands tall in the background while branches laden with leaves provide shade for those engaged in this labor-intensive task. Sepia tones add a nostalgic touch to this early 20th-century stereograph print. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also sheds light on an important aspect of Turkish industrial history. It serves as a reminder of how vital silk production was for Turkey's working class during that era. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece of visual storytelling by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon the ingenuity and dedication involved in creating such exquisite fabrics through centuries-old techniques like these.
