EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of a charcoal works located at Quay de Grenelle in Paris during the late 19th or early 20th century. The image showcases an intricate arrangement of piles of wood, neatly stacked and ready for the charcoal-making process. The wood, sourced from nearby forests, was transported to the works by horse-drawn wagons, as evidenced by the wagon peeking out from behind the stacks. The charcoal works was an essential part of Paris's industrial history, providing fuel for various industries and households. The production process involved sawing the wood into small pieces, piling them up in kilns, and covering them with earth to exclude air and allow the wood to slowly burn in a low-oxygen environment. The resulting charcoal was then transported to merchants and charbonniers (charcoal sellers) for distribution. The photograph reveals the orderly nature of the charcoal works, with the neatly arranged stacks of wood and the well-organized sheds in the background. The workers, not visible in the frame, would have been responsible for the labor-intensive process of producing charcoal. The historical significance of this industry is underscored by the presence of the quay, which served as a crucial transportation hub for the movement of goods between the charcoal works and various destinations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich industrial history of Paris and the essential role that charcoal played in fueling the city's growth. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of the charcoal workers and merchants who made this industry thrive.
