EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history in the form of the Workers Handbook from 1856. The handbook, mandatory under the Second Empire and later banned in 1890, served as a crucial tool for regulating labor practices during that time period. The image showcases the importance of legislation and control within factories and workshops, highlighting the strict regulations imposed on workers by Napoleon III's government. The booklet provided essential information for laborers in various industries, ensuring they were aware of their rights and responsibilities. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when laws governing the working class were strictly enforced through printed materials like this handbook. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by laborers in the past and sheds light on how far we have come in terms of worker rights and protections. This historical artifact is housed at Musee Pierre-Gaudin in Puteaux, France, where it stands as a testament to the evolution of labor laws over time. Its significance lies not only in its content but also in its role as a symbol of progress towards fair treatment for all workers.
