EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring scene of a drummer hammer in action at a forge of big works. The image, taken in the 19th century, showcases the immense scale and power of industrial manufacturing technology during that era. In the center of the composition stands an enormous piece emerging from the oven, its heat radiating as it dazzles onlookers. Men skillfully maneuver around it, their movements synchronized with precision and purpose. Their goal is to bring this colossal creation under the drumstick wielded by the drummer hammer. The engraving was originally created to illustrate a voyage to Creusot and Saone et Loire mines in 1865 for "Le tour du monde" a renowned journal of travels published in Paris under Edouard Charton's direction. This particular print now resides within a private collection belonging to Leonard de Selva. The image not only highlights the artistry involved in metallurgy but also pays homage to French craftsmanship and laborers who played crucial roles in shaping France's industrial landscape. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity, showcasing how man harnessed technology to manipulate steel and metal on such grand scales. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our ancestors' tireless efforts that laid foundations for modern manufacturing processes while evoking admiration for their dedication and skill.
