EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at a gunpowder factory in Fati Bay, Canton Province. The image depicts the meticulous process of screening gunpowder granules to sort them according to their size and quality before the final drying stage that gives them their distinctive fragrance. Engraved after a drawing by J. Ferat, which illustrated the remarkable journey to China by J. Thompson between 1870 and 1872, this print was published in "Le tour du monde" in 1875. The scene showcases workers diligently sifting through sieves filled with gunpowder granules, carefully separating them based on their characteristics. Each sieve represents an essential step towards creating high-quality gunpowder for various purposes. The attention to detail and precision evident in this engraving highlights the importance placed on producing superior ammunition during that era. This historical artifact offers us a glimpse into the intricate craftsmanship involved in manufacturing gunpowder over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has advanced since then, transforming industries and revolutionizing production processes worldwide. Preserved within Leonard de Selva's private collection, this photograph not only captures an important moment from our past but also stands as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation throughout history.
