EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 19th century France, specifically Soissons, where the bustling Sawmill of Villers-Cotterets stood tall. The image captures a snapshot of the community's industrious spirit as we witness a group of lumberjacks hard at work amidst stacks of wood. With their sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, these men are fully engrossed in their tasks. The sawmill itself is an impressive structure with its prominent chimney billowing smoke into the sky. Its presence dominates the background, emphasizing its importance within the local industry. Surrounding it are other buildings that contribute to this thriving hub of productivity. In this scene, only men can be seen - a reflection of societal norms during that era. Their mixed age range suggests that working at the sawmill was not limited to any specific demographic but rather open to anyone willing and able. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that it is more than just a documentation of reality; it possesses artistic qualities reminiscent of fine art painting from the 19th century. The composition is carefully crafted in a horizontal format, allowing our eyes to wander through every detail effortlessly. This print transports us back in time to witness firsthand the energy and dedication put forth by those who built and worked at this iconic sawmill in Villers-Cotterets over a century ago.
