EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the town of Anzin in the 19th century, known for its bustling mining activity. The bleak environment depicted in this print reflects the industrial nature of the community during that era. Created by a French School artist from the 19th century, this illustration was published as part of "Cent dessins: Extraits des oeuvres de Victor Hugo" showcasing drawings inspired by Victor Marie Hugo's works. Victor Hugo, a renowned French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement, is considered one of France's greatest literary figures. His writings often shed light on social issues and human struggles. This engraving serves as a visual representation of his powerful storytelling. The image showcases chimneys emitting smoke into an already polluted sky, symbolizing the impact of industrialization on Anzin. The smog-filled atmosphere further emphasizes the harsh conditions faced by workers in this mining town. As we observe this historical artwork today, it provides us with a glimpse into Anzin's past and highlights both its rich mining heritage and environmental challenges. Through this print, we can appreciate how art can capture not only physical landscapes but also societal realities.
