EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional charcoal burning industry in the woods near Nevers, France, dating back to 1903. The image showcases a series of conical huts, each one meticulously crafted from straw and mud, nestled amidst the lush forest landscape. These huts, known as 'fourneaux' in the local Nivernais dialect, were once a common sight in the region. Charcoal burning was an essential industry in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, providing fuel for various industries and households. The process involved burning wood in a low-oxygen environment to produce charcoal, which was then transported to markets and factories. The huts served as homes for the charcoal burners, who would live on-site for weeks at a time, tending to the fires and maintaining the huts. The conical shape of the huts was not only functional but also symbolic. The tall, pointed roofs allowed for the smoke to escape, while the walls were built with a slight inward slope to help contain the heat and prevent the wood from coming into direct contact with the rain. The huts were also designed to be easily dismantled and rebuilt, allowing the charcoal burners to move on to new sites as the wood supply dwindled. Today, these huts are a reminder of a bygone era, with only a few remaining as tourist attractions and museum pieces. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the charcoal burning industry in France and the unique way of life of the charcoal burners of Nevers.
