EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of a Coal Riddling workshop at the mines of Blanzy in c. 1860. The image, painted with watercolors by Ignace Francois Bonhomme, showcases the industrious nature of this era's workforce. In this scene, we see a large hall filled with female workers diligently sieving coal using riddle machinery. The women are accompanied by children who assist them in their tasks. Amidst the hustle and bustle, small trucks transport screened coal from one area to another. The photograph provides a glimpse into the industrial revolution and manual labor that characterized this period. It highlights how industries like mining relied on both adult and child workers to meet production demands. The composition evokes a sense of hard work and dedication as these women play an integral role in screening coal for further processing. Their presence signifies not only their contribution to the industry but also reflects societal norms surrounding gender roles during that time. Overall, this print serves as a historical document capturing an essential aspect of 19th-century industrialization – showcasing the relentless efforts made by workers within factories like these mines in Saone et Loire, France.
