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. Engraving from Grands Hommes et Grands Faits de l Industrie (Great Men and Great Facts of Industry), published in France circa 1880

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.
