EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Blacksmith" is a part of the Imagier de l'enfance collection from around 1900. The artwork, created by Ferdinand Raffin, measures 14.5 x 18.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. "The Blacksmith" is featured in the sixth booklet of the series called "Les metiers" which translates to "The Trades". This colored album series was specifically designed for use in nursery schools, children's classes, and elementary schools as an educational tool for observation and language development. Raffin's intricate illustrations beautifully depict various professions through enchanting imagery. In this particular piece, we see a blacksmith hard at work in his forge with a horse nearby. The scene exudes an atmosphere of laborious craftsmanship and dedication. This engraving not only captures the essence of early twentieth-century France but also showcases the importance of traditional trades such as blacksmithing during that era. It serves as a reminder of how essential these skilled artisans were in shaping society. With its attention to detail and nostalgic charm, "The Blacksmith" transports viewers back in time while highlighting the significance of manual labor and human ingenuity. This print is truly a testament to Raffin's talent as an artist and his ability to capture moments that resonate with both children and adults alike.
