EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history. In the year 1900, Manchester industrialists demonstrated their appreciation for their workforce by offering an extraordinary opportunity to their 1600 workers of both sexes. They organized a grand trip to Paris, mobilizing three trains to transport them all. The image depicts a scene from this memorable journey, as captured in an engraving featured in "Le petit journal" on October 6th, 1900. The Selva Collection has preserved this precious piece of history that showcases the generosity and forward-thinking nature of these industrialists. In the photograph, we see laborers eagerly boarding one of the trains at a bustling station. Their faces are filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead – a day at the Universal Exhibition held in Paris. This event was renowned for its showcase of technological advancements, artistic marvels, and cultural treasures from around the world. This act by Manchester's industrialists not only provided their workers with an unforgettable experience but also highlighted the progressive mindset prevalent during that era. It symbolizes how employers recognized and valued their employees' contributions beyond just work. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography immortalizes this historic moment, allowing us to glimpse into a time when such gestures were rare yet immensely impactful. It serves as a reminder that acts of kindness can transcend boundaries and leave lasting impressions on individuals and communities alike.
