EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Quarry near Montmartre, 1865" takes us back in time to witness the industrial transformation of Paris. Created by Francois Nicolas Chifflart, this etching with drypoint on laid paper captures the essence of realism and showcases the hardships faced by workers during this era. The image depicts a bustling quarrying site in Montmartre, Paris. The city's rapid development under Baron Haussmann is evident as we see workers toiling away amidst piles of stone and construction materials. Their laborious efforts contribute to the growth of the city and its industries. Measuring 23.9x31.9 cm, this artwork is housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. It belongs to Chifflart's series called "Improvisations sur cuivre" which explores various aspects of French society during that period. Through this engraving, Chifflart not only highlights the physicality and challenges involved in quarry work but also sheds light on the resilience and dedication exhibited by these workers. This piece serves as a reminder of their significant contributions to France's industrial progress. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured over a century ago, we are transported into an era where manual labor played a vital role in shaping cities like Paris into what they are today.
