EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the daily life of the residents of Gerardmer, a quaint town nestled in northeastern France near the German border. Known for its picturesque tree-lined ski slopes, Gerardmer was also home to a thriving timber industry. In this image, a group of Schlitteurs, traditional wood transporters, are making their way up the mountain side of Col de Grosse Pierre, armed with sledges to transport the precious wood down the slopes to the lower levels. The Schlitteurs, dressed in heavy coats and hats, bravely navigate the steep terrain, their faces etched with determination and focus. The sledges, laden with logs, are carefully balanced on their shoulders, creating a striking contrast against the pristine snow. The scene is one of industriousness and perseverance, as these men braved the elements to provide for their community. The timber industry played a significant role in the economy of Gerardmer, and the Schlitteurs were an integral part of this essential industry. Their work was physically demanding, but it allowed the town to flourish, providing wood for heating and construction. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Gerardmer.
