EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the lives of charcoal burners in Epping Forest, Essex, near London, England. The men and their families made this forest their temporary home during the summer months to ensure they were always available to attend the burning clamps whenever needed. In this image, we see a woman gracefully perched on a log outside her humble hut, which served as her shelter for the season. Her presence adds an element of warmth amidst the ruggedness of the surroundings. On the right side of the frame stands a screen ingeniously designed to regulate airflow and maintain optimal conditions for burning charcoal. The engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on November 8th, 1879. It offers us a rare glimpse into an industry that played a vital role in Britain's fuel supply during that era. Charcoal production required great skill and dedication from these hardworking individuals who relied on Epping Forest's abundant wood resources. As we admire this historical photograph, it serves as a reminder of how people once lived harmoniously with nature while fulfilling essential tasks. It invites us to appreciate both our modern conveniences and those who came before us, laboring diligently to provide for their families and communities through traditional means such as charcoal burning.
