EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cigar Makers at Seville" takes us back in time to the bustling factory floors of 19th-century Spain. Captured by the talented Gustave Dore and published in Paris in 1874, this engraving offers a glimpse into the laborious world of cigar manufacturing. The image showcases a group of workers diligently engaged in their craft. The scene is filled with activity as men and women hunch over workbenches, skillfully rolling cigars with precision and expertise. Amidst the flurry of hands moving swiftly, one can spot a working mother cradling her baby in a basket beside her workstation—a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by women balancing both work and family responsibilities. The atmosphere within the factory is palpable; it exudes an air of industry and hard work. The worn-out expressions on some faces hint at long hours spent perfecting their trade. Yet amidst this tireless labor, there is also tranquility: one worker finds solace as she rests her head on the table for a brief moment's respite. Davillier's portrayal captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of these cigar makers—known as las cigarreras—in Seville. Their dedication to their craft shines through every detail captured by Dore's lens. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation—an enduring tribute to these unsung heroes who played an integral role in shaping Spain's rich
