EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century in Thiers, France. The image showcases a workshop filled with skilled cutlers hard at work, their hands expertly crafting knives and other tools of the trade. The photograph captures a moment of rest amidst the laborious process, as some workers are seen lying down, taking a well-deserved break from their meticulous craftsmanship. Their tired bodies find solace on the wooden floor, while their tools lay scattered around them. Thiers was renowned for its cutlery industry during this time period, and these men were part of that rich tradition. Among them is Louis Adolphe Thiers himself - not only an accomplished cutler but also a prominent politician who played a significant role in French history. This monochrome snapshot offers us a glimpse into the social history of traditional craftsmanship and highlights the dedication and skill required in this demanding profession. It serves as a testament to the hardworking spirit of these men who dedicated themselves to perfecting their craft. Preserved by Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical gem reminds us of an era long gone but still cherished through images like this one.
