EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "Workers having a rest" offers a glimpse into the lives of hardworking laborers in 19th century France. The image showcases a diverse group of workers taking a well-deserved break from their arduous tasks. Set against the backdrop of a bustling river and boatyard, this scene captures the essence of French industrial life during that era. Smoke billows from factory chimneys as boats navigate the waterways, providing transportation for both goods and people. The workers are seen enjoying their lunchtime respite in various ways. Some sit on tree trunks or logs, while others lean against buildings or store fronts. A woman dressed as a maid can be spotted serving refreshments to these weary individuals who have temporarily put down their tools. The presence of Au Bon Marche, one of Paris' most famous department stores at that time, adds an interesting touch to this snapshot of everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst work and toil, there were moments for relaxation and enjoyment. This print not only highlights the industrious spirit prevalent in French culture but also sheds light on the means of transport available during this period. From tugboats to passenger transportation vessels, it is evident that movement was essential for both commerce and leisure. Through this artwork by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness how workers found solace amid their demanding routines
