EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Royal Foundry at Le Creusot in 1787, as depicted in an engraving by the French School of the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this renowned factory. Established in 1782, the Royal Foundry played a crucial role during the Napoleonic wars, specializing in the production of cannons. This engraving captures not only its architectural grandeur but also hints at its industrial might. Smoke billows from towering chimneys, symbolizing intense activity within these metallurgical works. The landscape surrounding the foundry adds to its allure. Set against picturesque burgundy countryside, one can almost imagine wagons transporting raw materials or finished products across this scenic region. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's beauty coexisting harmoniously. The inclusion of various keywords such as arms, steel industry, smelting works, and smithy further emphasizes the importance of this establishment within France's manufacturing sector during that era. While it is important to note that this photograph does not represent any specific company or commercial use, it remains an invaluable piece for historians and art enthusiasts alike. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts with eArchives Charmet, we are fortunate enough to appreciate this remarkable snapshot from our past.
