EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "La Greve des Terrassiers, Les abords de la Bourse du travail, le 28 juillet, rue du Louvre" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Paris. The image captures a pivotal moment in history as workers known as terrassiers stage a strike near the Bourse du Travail on July 28th. The scene is filled with energy and tension. A sea of workers clad in worn-out clothes and wielding shovels gather together, their determined expressions reflecting their fight for better working conditions. Surrounding them are the grand buildings that line Rue du Louvre, including the iconic Louvre Museum itself. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for Le Monde Illustre in 1888, providing readers with a visual representation of this significant event. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by laborers during this period and their efforts to bring about change. Preserved within a private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into Parisian history and invites us to reflect on the social movements that have shaped our world today. Through its intricate details and powerful composition, it stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document capturing an important chapter in French history.
