EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling boiler room of a soap factory in Marseille. The image is part of "Les merveilles de l'industrie" (The Wonders of Industry) by Louis Figuier, an encyclopedia that celebrated the marvels of manufacturing technology during that era. In this particular scene, we witness the operation known as "l'impatage" where various ingredients are mixed together to create soap. The steam-filled room is alive with activity as workers diligently tend to their tasks amidst towering boilers and intricate machinery. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of industrial beauty is undeniable. Marseille, located in the picturesque Provence Riviera region of France near Rhone Mouths 13, was renowned for its soap production during this time. This print offers a rare insight into one aspect of this thriving industry that played a significant role in both local economy and global trade. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography perfectly captures the atmosphere and historical significance surrounding this moment in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to an era when factories like these were at the forefront of innovation and progress. This print serves as a testament not only to Marseille's rich history but also to humanity's endless pursuit of knowledge and advancement in manufacturing technology – all encapsulated within the humble bar of soap.
