EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Paper making: bleaching rag pulp" takes us back to the year 1870. The image showcases a scene from a bustling paper mill, where two manual workers are diligently pushing an effortful cart along a railroad track. Standing on an elevated view, we get a full-length glimpse of these men dressed in historical clothing as they engage in the laborious process of preparing rag pulp for paper production. The architectural structure surrounding them hints at the industrial nature of their work. Inside this vast manufacturing facility, various pieces of equipment can be seen, emphasizing the complexity involved in creating paper during that era. The engraving technique used to capture this moment adds depth and texture to the overall composition. Intriguingly, only men are present in this illustration; it serves as a reminder of gender roles prevalent during the 19th century when certain industries were predominantly male-dominated. This visual narrative transports us back in time and offers insight into both the techniques employed and modes of transport utilized within paper mills during this period. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, providing art enthusiasts with glimpses into historical moments that shaped our world today.
