EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Xavier Mellery takes us back to the bustling streets of Ghent in the late 19th century. The image depicts a factory exit, where workers pour out into the city after a long day's labor. With meticulous detail, Mellery captures the essence of daily life in Belgium during this industrial era. The scene is filled with human figures, each one telling their own story. Among them is a young girl, perhaps an apprentice or daughter of one of the workers, her presence highlighting the harsh realities faced by individuals from all walks of life. The artist's skillful rendering brings forth a sense of movement and energy as people make their way through crowded streets. Published in 1888 to accompany Camille Lemonnier's insightful narrative on Belgium, this engraving offers us a glimpse into both historical and artistic perspectives. It serves as a visual testament to the rapid growth and transformation brought about by industrialization. Mellery's work not only showcases his technical prowess but also reflects his keen eye for capturing everyday moments that often go unnoticed. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the lives of ordinary Belgians navigating their way through an evolving society. As we admire this piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection today, it reminds us to appreciate our own journey amidst progress and change while honoring those who came before us.
