Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
Flour mill, 19th century
Flour mill, 19th century artwork. During the 19th century, the commune (town) of Corbeil, now within the suburbs of Paris, was a centre of the flour milling industry. This cross-section shows the various levels that existed in the large and complex Corbeil mills, producing flour on an industrial scale. The power to grind the wheat into flour came from the waterwheel (bottom), driven by water falling downwards from an inlet from a river.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling flour milling industry in Corbeil, a commune near Paris. The intricate artwork showcases the impressive complexity of the Corbeil mills, which were at the forefront of industrial-scale flour production during that era. The image presents a cross-section view of these massive mills, revealing multiple levels and machinery intricately connected to produce flour on an unprecedented scale. At the bottom lies a waterwheel powered by cascading water from a nearby river, providing the necessary energy for grinding wheat into fine flour. Engraved with meticulous detail, this historical illustration highlights various components such as rods, cogs, gears, levers, chutes, and staircases that facilitated smooth operation throughout different floors. It is evident that this technological marvel required skilled workers who tirelessly operated machines within this vast building. As we observe this monochrome masterpiece from circa 1880 published in France's "Grands Hommes et Grands Faits de l'Industrie" we are transported to an era where human ingenuity merged seamlessly with mechanical processing. This artwork serves as a testament to French industrial history and offers insight into how technology revolutionized food production during that time. With its rich historical context and remarkable attention to detail captured by Science Photo Library's lensman or woman (not mentioned), this print stands as both an artistic representation and educational tool for those fascinated by our industrial past.
