EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Wood transport on the River Seine" takes us back to medieval times when trade and commerce thrived along the riverbanks. The image showcases a bustling scene of laborers diligently transporting wood on their boats, navigating through the gentle currents of the Seine. Painted by Antoine Verard or attributed to him, this artwork is part of the Ordonnances Royaux de la Juridiction de la Prevote des Marchands de la Ville de Paris from 1528. It beautifully captures the essence of fluvial transportation during that era. The composition exudes a sense of industry and hard work as workers carefully load and unload timber onto their vessels. Their weathered faces reflect years spent in arduous labor, yet there is also an air of camaraderie among them. The painting not only highlights the significance of waterways for trade but also offers a glimpse into daily life in medieval Paris. It reminds us how essential these rivers were for transporting goods and sustaining economic growth. Preserved at Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris in France, this historical gem serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the vital role played by these hardworking individuals who ensured that commerce flowed smoothly along the River Seine.
