EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a housing development in Mulhouse during the late 19th century. The engraving, created by the French School of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into an era marked by significant social changes. The image captures a socialist system at work, as it depicts model dwellings built specifically for factory workers. These "cites ouvrieres" were established in 1853 by Johann Heinrich Dollfus, the mayor of Mulhouse at that time. The architect behind this visionary project was Emile Muller, who ingeniously designed over 1200 houses to accommodate the growing working class population. The photograph not only highlights the architectural brilliance of these worker cities but also provides insight into utopian ideals prevalent during this period. It is evident that careful thought went into every aspect of planning and design, with emphasis on creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing homes for the workers. As we delve deeper into this historical gem, we are transported back in time to witness an elevation of society through urban development. This print serves as a testament to how architecture can shape communities and improve living conditions for those who need it most. Displayed within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this remarkable piece from eArchives Charmet reminds us of our collective responsibility towards creating inclusive spaces where everyone has access to decent housing – an aspiration that remains relevant even today.
