EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a snapshot of the only manufacture in France that produced high-quality razors made from melted steel, following the same techniques as those used in Sheffield, England during the late 18th century. The image showcases an array of fascinating elements within the workshop. A group of laborers, both male and female, can be seen diligently working with various tools such as hammers and grindstones. The foreman oversees their work while a visitor wearing a wig observes the process. The scene is filled with activity; flames dance in the forge, bellows blow air into the fire to intensify its heat, and workers skillfully sharpen blades on grinding wheels. Amidst this industrious atmosphere stands a child holding onto a walking stick or cane for support. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into an era when craftsmanship was highly valued and skilled artisans dedicated themselves to producing exceptional razors. It symbolizes not only French industry but also highlights foreign influences on manufacturing techniques during this period. Preserved by eArchives Charmet and sourced from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical image transports us back to an age where traditional methods were employed to create remarkable products like these coveted razors made from melted steel.
