EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing women workers diligently packing matches into matchboxes. The image, taken by Paul Geniaux between 1873 and 1914, offers a glimpse into the early 20th-century industrial scene in France. The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "La Femme dans la Nature, dans les Moeurs, dans la Legende, dans la Societe" (Volume 4) by V du Bled, Jules Clarette, Camille Pert, and Marcel Prevost. It beautifully illustrates the role of women in various occupations during that era. In this particular shot, we witness these French women engaged in their work with utmost concentration. Their hands move swiftly as they skillfully arrange matches inside matchboxes. This image serves as a testament to their dedication and contribution to the industry. The historical significance of this photograph cannot be overstated. It sheds light on an important aspect of French culture at that time – the hardworking nature of its people and their commitment to employment opportunities. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize the resilience and strength exhibited by these female workers who played an integral role in shaping our industrial history.
