EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L arpentage en foret" showcases a remarkable engraving by the French School from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, depicts an enchanting scene of forestry in action. The engraving was originally created as an illustration for the book "Nos Grandes Ecoles Militaires et Civiles" by Louis Rousselet, published by Hachette in 1888. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and immerse ourselves in this educational moment. In this forest setting, we witness individuals engaged in the art of surveying or measuring land - known as l'arpentage. Their presence amidst towering trees highlights the importance of wood and timber within French establishments during that era. This piece not only serves as a visual representation of forestry practices but also offers insights into French culture and history. It symbolizes the significance of l'ecole forestiere (the forestry school) where students were trained to manage forests effectively. As we delve into this image, we are reminded of France's rich natural resources and its commitment to sustainable practices even back then. The abundance of firewood and kindling depicted here speaks volumes about how crucial these materials were for heating homes and providing warmth during colder seasons. Overall, this print captures both beauty and functionality while shedding light on European forestry traditions that have shaped our understanding of nature conservation today.
