Work Simplified

This series of illustrations comically shows a sketch in which some workers are struggling to get a large, heavy pipe into a trench by the end of the day. To simplify things, a man blasts a motor vehicle into the end of the pipe, without warning the workers, projecting it into the trench immediately, to the enjoyment of the men at the end. Date: circa 1901

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1901: A Comical Solution to a Heavy Workload in this Work Simplified Illustration In this humorous sketch from the "March of the Women" Collection by Benjamin Rabier, dated circa 1901, a group of hardworking men are shown attempting to insert a large, heavy pipe into a trench before the end of the day. The sun is setting, and the men's faces reflect their exhaustion and frustration. Suddenly, a man with a mischievous grin emerges from the side, holding the keys to a motor vehicle. Without warning, he revs up the engine and drives the car full-speed into the open end of the pipe, sending it flying into the trench with a loud crash. The men at the end of the trench are taken aback, but their initial shock quickly turns to enjoyment as they watch the unexpected and efficient solution to their problem. This illustration, titled "Les Maîtres de l'Album: Caricature," is a testament to the human desire to simplify complex tasks and find creative solutions to everyday challenges. The use of humor adds a lighthearted touch to the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of historical illustrations or workplace memorabilia.
