This print titled "Le savonnage apres le coulage de la lessive (engraving)" showcases a scene from the 19th century French industry. The image depicts workers engaged in the process of soap-making after pouring the laundry detergent. This engraving, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles de l Industrie" published around 1880. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance of this manufacturing process. It offers a glimpse into the world of industrialization and highlights the importance of cleanliness in society during that era.

This artwork serves as a reminder of how far our modern laundry practices have come since then. It also sheds light on the significant role that industries played in shaping societies throughout history. With its rich historical context and emphasis on clothing manufacture and hygiene, this print provides viewers with a unique opportunity to delve into the past while appreciating both artistry and cultural development.
