EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Jean Francois Millet's painting, "The Wood Sawyers; Les scieurs de long" created in 1850. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, showcasing the artist's remarkable talent. In this outdoor setting, we witness two men engrossed in their laborious task of cutting wood. The building behind them suggests they are working near a barn or workshop, surrounded by other structures that hint at a bustling community. Their occupation as wood sawyers requires immense effort and skill, evident through their focused expressions and coordinated movements. The image beautifully portrays the concept of teamwork and partnership as these men work together to accomplish their job efficiently. It transports us back to the 19th century when such professions were vital for society's development. Published in Haldane MacFall's book "A History of Painting Volume VIII" in 1911, this print serves as a valuable historical document capturing an era where manual labor played a significant role. Preserved by The Print Collector and displayed at the Museum of Ornamental Art within the Victoria & Albert Museum, it allows us to appreciate Jean Francois Millet's artistry while reflecting on our own modern-day advancements.
