EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1896, offers a rare glimpse into the intricate and meticulous process of lens making at a French glassworks. The image showcases a skilled artisan in the act of transforming a glass sphere into a precision lens using compressed air. The process begins with the blowing of a glass sphere using a blowpipe and compressed air. Once the sphere reaches the desired size, the artisan carefully shapes the glass using various tools, such as tweezers and pliers, to create the unique curvature required for a lens. The precision and care required in this process are evident in the intense concentration and focus of the artisan. The art of lens making has a rich history that dates back to the 13th century, with significant advancements made during the Renaissance period.
