The Whipsaw - A Glimpse into 19th Century Trade and Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Whipsaw" a chromolitho by the French School from the late 19th or early 20th century. The image takes us back in time to a bustling building site, where workers are engaged in their trade. In this snapshot of history, we witness the artistry and skill of the sawyer as he deftly wields his whipsaw to cut through timber. The construction industry relied heavily on such tools during that era, making them essential for shaping materials used in various projects. Interestingly, this particular educational card was associated with Chocolat Guerin Boutron – an unexpected connection between two seemingly unrelated worlds. It is intriguing to imagine how these sweet treats found their way onto a card depicting laborers hard at work. Perhaps it served as a reminder that even amidst demanding physical tasks, people sought moments of respite and indulgence. The juxtaposition of chocolate and woodwork sparks curiosity about the lives of those who labored tirelessly while also enjoying life's simple pleasures. Through this photo print, we gain insight into not only the craftsmanship involved in construction but also glimpses into daily life during that period. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience while reminding us of our shared history.
