EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Lebanon's silk manufacturing history. Taken in 1914, it showcases the labor-intensive process of boiling cocoons to loosen fiber ends at Syria's largest silk reeling plant, nestled in the majestic Mount Lebanon. The image transports us back to a time when child labor was prevalent, as we see a young boy diligently engaged in this intricate task. His small hands delicately handle the cocoons, symbolizing both innocence and resilience amidst an early industrial setting. The sepia tones add depth and nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing the historical significance of this turn-of-the-century industry. The interior of the plant is bustling with activity as workers focus on their craft, creating threads that would eventually be transformed into exquisite silk products. This photograph serves as a reminder of Lebanon's rich heritage in silk manufacture during the Ottoman era. It highlights not only the ingenuity and skill of its working class but also sheds light on societal conditions prevalent at that time. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this piece from their collection, allowing viewers to appreciate and reflect upon an important chapter in Lebanese history. As we gaze upon this print today, let us acknowledge both the beauty created by human hands and strive for progress towards fairer working conditions for all.
