The print captures a moment in time, showcasing the skilled trade of a knife grinder known as "Le Remouleur". The image is part of an enchanting series called "Imagier de L Enfance, Les Metiers" which aimed to educate children about various professions through beautiful illustrations. Created by French artist Ferdinand Raffin and published around 1895, this particular artwork has found its way into a private collection.

His weathered face tells tales of countless hours spent honing his craft on street corners or in market squares. This print serves as a poignant reminder of an era when tradesmen like Le Remouleur played vital roles in society. Their skills were essential for maintaining everyday tools and ensuring that people could carry out their daily tasks efficiently.
