EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling arms manufacturing industry in St Etienne, France, back in 1896. Published as an illustration in Le Petit Journal, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of weaponry production during the 19th century. The towering factory building dominates the landscape with its impressive architecture and prominent chimney billowing smoke into the sky. The vibrant colors of this print bring to life the energy and activity taking place outside the factory walls. From an elevated view, we witness workers engaged in mass production, diligently contributing to France's war effort. This panorama showcases not only the scale of manufacturing but also highlights how warfare shaped industries during that era.
