EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pottery: destruction of the 'Henri II' factory during the looting of the castle" takes us back to a tumultuous moment in history. The image depicts the devastating aftermath of the looting that occurred at the castle of Oiron in Deux Sevres, France, during 1568. This act of destruction took place amidst the chaos of religious conflict known as the League. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, showcases a scene filled with human tragedy and loss. The once thriving pottery factory lies in ruins, its delicate ceramic creations shattered and scattered across what was once a bustling workshop. War has ravaged this peaceful haven, leaving behind only remnants of its former beauty. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of the destructive power unleashed during times of conflict but also how it can impact even seemingly unrelated industries like pottery-making. It serves as a poignant symbol for all those who have suffered due to war throughout history. This historical artifact from Adolphe BITARD's "Les arts et metiers illustres" collection allows us to reflect on our shared past while contemplating how far we have come since those turbulent times. It is a stark reminder that peace should always be cherished and protected so that such devastation may never be repeated again.
