EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant historical artifact, the Workers Handbook issued by the Mairie of Dampmart to Felix Auger in 1864. This pen and ink on paper document, created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, is now housed in the Musee Nat. des Arts et Traditions Populaires in Paris, France. The Workers Handbook was an essential tool during the Second Empire era and remained mandatory until its abolition in 1890. It required workers like Felix Auger to meticulously record every arrival and departure they made while employed. The handwritten notes served as a means of control and surveillance over laborers' movements. This particular page displayed in the print showcases Felix Auger's commitment to fulfilling his obligations as a worker under this system. His neat handwriting fills each line of the booklet with precision and clarity, demonstrating his dedication to complying with these strict regulations. The image offers us a glimpse into both personal history and broader social dynamics at play during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how labor practices were tightly regulated and monitored during this era, shedding light on an aspect of daily life that often goes unnoticed. Through this photograph, we are invited to reflect upon not only Felix Auger's individual experience but also the larger implications of such bureaucratic control over working-class individuals like him in Dampmart, Seine-et-Marne region of France.
