EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Wood-Cutter" takes us back to the pre-revolutionary era in France. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, this print showcases a wood-cutter immersed in his daily labor. The scene is filled with rich details that transport us to a time when manual work was essential for survival. The wood-cutter's rugged appearance and muscular physique reflect the physical demands of his occupation. With his axe raised high above his head, he demonstrates strength and determination as he prepares to strike down another tree trunk. Surrounding him are stacks of freshly cut logs, evidence of his hard work and dedication. This engraving serves as more than just a depiction of a common worker; it also symbolizes the ancien régime, or old regime, which prevailed in France before the revolution. It offers insight into French culture during this period and reminds us of the importance placed on manual labor within society. Originally featured as an illustration for Paul Lacroix's book "The XVIIIth Century" published by Bickers and Son around 1880, this print has found its way into private collections over time. Now preserved by Bridgeman Images, it continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of the resilience and fortitude exhibited by those who shaped our past through their tireless efforts.
