EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intricate and labor-intensive process of glassmaking at R. Catinus & Cie, a mirror and stained glass factory located in Brussels during the 1940-50s. The image showcases a group of skilled workers intently focused on their tasks, each contributing to the creation of beautiful and intricate glass pieces. At the heart of the scene, a worker meticulously cuts and shapes a sheet of glass using a large, manual glass cutter. Another worker carefully grinds and polishes the edges of a mirror, ensuring a flawless finish. Meanwhile, other workers assemble and install stained glass panels, each piece fitting together like a puzzle to create stunning, colorful designs. The factory's atmosphere is filled with a sense of dedication and craftsmanship, as the workers bring raw materials to life through their deft hands and unwavering attention to detail. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the artisanal methods used to manufacture mirrors and stained glass during this era. This image is a testament to the rich history of glassmaking in Brussels and the importance of skilled labor in the production of these timeless and captivating creations. The photograph, from the Classic Photographics Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right but also a valuable historical document that transports us back in time to witness the magic of glassmaking in progress.
