EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intricate process of making starch in 18th century France, a crucial step in the preparation of food and drink during this era. Dated circa 1760, the image offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily workings of a starch workshop or factory, which were common in rural areas and smaller towns. The scene unfolds in a series of stages, each meticulously depicted. At the heart of the process, workers are shown soaking and grinding cereals, such as wheat, corn, or potatoes, to extract the valuable starch. The resulting slurry is then transferred to large vats, where it is heated and agitated to coagulate the starch granules. The clear liquid that separates from the mixture is then drained off, leaving behind a solid mass of starch. Once cooled and dried, the starch is ground into a fine powder, which can be stored for later use. This versatile substance was essential for thickening sauces, puddings, and gravies, as well as for producing a clear, crisp texture in textiles. The workers in this print are shown diligently attending to their tasks, with a sense of purpose and discipline that speaks to the importance of this industry in 18th century France. The print also offers a glimpse into the social and economic fabric of the time, revealing the interconnectedness of agriculture, industry, and daily life. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of starch production in the 18th century, a time when this humble substance played a vital role in the culinary and textile industries.
