EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Reaper" from the renowned "Alphabet des metiers". Created by the French School in the first half of the 19th century, this artwork is a testament to the talent and craftsmanship of its time. The print measures 43.5x26.5cm and belongs to a private collection. The engraving depicts an essential figure in French agriculture - a reaper. With meticulous detail, every stroke captures the essence of this laborious profession. The reaper stands tall, holding his agricultural tool with expertise and determination, embodying hard work and dedication. Displayed within an alphabet book dedicated to various trades, this engraving symbolizes not only manual labor but also represents an important part of France's cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the significance that peasants held in society during that era. The composition transports us back to Lille, where Jean-Baptiste Castiaux operated as a bookseller alongside Simon-Francois Blocquel's printing press at Imprimerie de Blocquel. This collaboration between two talented individuals resulted in Plate no. 528 - an exquisite piece that has stood the test of time. Thanks to photographer Jean Duvallon's skillful lens, we can now appreciate this masterpiece up close while honoring its historical value and artistic brilliance for generations to come.
