EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "From flax to paper (engraving)" takes us back in time to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating process of transforming flax into paper. The image, created by the American School, showcases an engraving that was part of Emilie Poulsson's renowned book "In The Childs World" published by Milton Bradley Co in 1899. The intricate illustration captures every step involved in this laborious yet essential craft. We witness the transformation from raw flax fibers to delicate linen thread and finally to pulp used for making paper. The machine depicted in the engraving plays a crucial role as it beats rags and converts them into fine pulp ready for paper production. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of an important industry but also in its representation of human ingenuity and resourcefulness during that era. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors utilized nature's resources like flax to create something as fundamental as paper. With meticulous attention to detail, L J Bridgman brings this enchanting scene to life through his illustrations. This particular print is housed within a private collection and has been preserved over time, allowing us today to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical value. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back centuries ago when machines hummed with activity and skilled hands worked tirelessly behind each stage of production – reminding us once again how far we have come on our journey through
