EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Marseille in 1861. The image depicts a factory located on Rue d'Aubagne, a hub of industrial activity during that era. Painted by V. Cornis, this oil on canvas artwork beautifully captures the essence of French industry in the 19th century. The factory stands tall and proud against the backdrop of an overcast sky, its chimneys billowing smoke into the air. It is evident that this establishment plays a crucial role in the production and distribution of printed materials such as newspapers. The printing workshop within is abuzz with workers diligently operating various machines, their hands stained with ink as they work tirelessly to meet deadlines. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when journalism was at its peak, where every word mattered and news traveled through these very presses before reaching eager readers' hands. The dedication and hard work displayed by these workers exemplify their commitment to delivering accurate information promptly. As we observe this historical scene frozen in time, we are reminded of how far technology has advanced since then. Yet, it also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance throughout history – for it was through endeavors like these that progress was made possible. Displayed at Musee du Vieux Port in Marseille today, this remarkable piece allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come on our journey towards innovation and enlightenment.
