EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of resin recovery in the pine forests. The image features a unique technique called "The pitey stitching" which involves creating a scald-like structure from the trunk of the pine tree, using multiple scales to extract resin. Engraved by the talented author, Paul Adolphe Kauffmann, this illustration was originally intended to accompany the story "Dans la foret d'Arcachon" in Le tour du Monde 1892. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable, as it beautifully captures the essence of forestry work during that era. The artist's skillful hand brings out every fine line and texture on both the wooden surface and delicate scales used for resin extraction. This print serves as a historical testament to traditional methods employed by workers in Arcachon's forest. Published under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance, this piece holds significance not only for its artistic value but also for its documentation of cultural practices at that time. It offers viewers an insight into an industry deeply rooted in nature and human ingenuity. Leonard de Selva has preserved this precious artwork within their private collection, ensuring its legacy lives on through generations. As we admire this masterpiece today, let us appreciate both Kauffmann's artistry and his contribution to our understanding of past traditions.
