EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cigarreras au travail, fabrica de tabacos de Seville" transports us back in time to the bustling tobacco factory in Seville, Spain. Created by Gustave Dore in 1866 for Le Tour Du Monde magazine, this historical print offers a glimpse into the laborious lives of cigar makers. The image depicts a group of Spanish women known as "cigarreras" diligently working on their craft. With focused expressions and nimble fingers, they expertly roll cigars with precision and skill. The atmosphere is filled with an air of industry as smoke swirls around them, creating an intriguing contrast against their elegant attire. Dore's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The lines are crisp and clean, enhancing the textures of the workers' clothing and capturing the essence of their hard work. Despite being digitally cleaned for preservation purposes, this print retains its authentic charm and historical significance. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of the craftsmanship involved but also of the cultural heritage embedded within each hand-rolled cigar. This piece serves as a testament to both the industrial prowess of Seville's tobacco factories during that era and the enduring legacy left behind by these skilled cigarreras.
