EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print titled "Ramasseur de Bouts de Cigares" by Louis Borgex takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century in France. This French educational card offers a glimpse into the diverse working class and their distinct roles and occupations during that time. In this bustling street scene, we see a diligent worker known as the "Ramasseur de Bouts de Cigares" whose job is to collect discarded cigar butts from the ground. With his worn-out clothes and weathered hands, he represents one of the many laborers who played crucial yet often overlooked roles in society. This image highlights not only different types of work but also class distinctions prevalent at that time. The presence of a tobacco shop and café in the background further emphasizes the connection between these workers' jobs and their surroundings. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork reminds us of the rich cultural heritage associated with France. It evokes images of charming sweet shops like Chocolat Louit, where milk chocolates were crafted with care for customers to enjoy. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it serve as a reminder of how every occupation contributes to our society's fabric. Whether they are tradesmen or laborers, each individual plays an essential role in shaping our world – just like those depicted in this piece.
