The Burin - A Glimpse into the Craftsmanship of a 19th Century French Engraver
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite chromolitho titled "The Burin" created by an anonymous French School artist in the late 19th or early 20th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, offers us a fascinating glimpse into the world of printmaking and craftsmanship during that era. In this image, we witness a skilled tradesman engrossed in his work as he delicately engraves intricate designs onto wood using a burin—a specialized tool for carving. His focused expression reveals both concentration and passion for his craft. Surrounding him are stacks of timber, perhaps serving as firewood or kindling to fuel his creative process. Notably, this scene takes place within the walls of Chocolat Guerin Boutron—an enchanting sweet shop filled with delectable treats made from milk chocolate. The juxtaposition between the worker's laborious task and the enticing aroma of sugar-filled delights adds an intriguing layer to this composition. Through this photograph, we gain insight into not only the artistry behind engraving but also the importance of skilled workers in various industries during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane occupations can be elevated to works of art when executed with dedication and precision. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical moment through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic mastery involved in printmaking
