EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the rural industry of charcoal making in France during the 18th century, circa 1760. The scene unfolds in a lush green field, where people are hard at work, their silhouettes contrasting against the smoky sky. The air is thick with the scent of wood smoke as they meticulously build towering pyramids of wood, each one destined to become a charcoal pit. Charcoal was an essential fuel source during this era, used primarily for heating homes, cooking, and powering the iron industry. The labor-intensive process began with selecting and cutting the wood, which was then arranged in these conical structures. Once the wood was covered with earth, a slow and controlled burn ensued, lasting for several days. The heat and lack of oxygen caused the wood to transform into charcoal, which was then carefully removed and transported to markets and factories. The people in this photograph are a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of rural communities during this period. Their focused expressions and determined postures convey the importance of their work, as they collaborate to extract this valuable resource from the earth. The charcoal pits, with their smoldering embers and billowing plumes of smoke, create a hauntingly beautiful tableau, frozen in time and offering a glimpse into the past.
