EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a watermill in action, grinding flour for the production of bread and other baked goods. The intricate details of the millstone and millwheel are beautifully captured in black and white, highlighting the importance of this technology in food and beverage production during that time period.
The image is part of a collection titled "Grands hommes et grands faits de l'industrie" (Great Men and Great Deeds of Industry) from France circa 1880, showcasing the advancements made in agriculture and farming. The suffering endured by those working in bakeries and cake shops is evident, emphasizing the hard work required to produce essential food items.
The science behind milling flour is showcased through this engraving, with a focus on the mechanics of the wheel as it grinds grains into fine powder. The roue moulin (millwheel) plays a crucial role in this process, symbolizing progress and innovation in food production.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the historical significance of mills in shaping our modern food industry. It captures a moment frozen in time when technology was revolutionizing how we produce essential goods like bread.
