EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Loger, the Trailblazing French Girl at the Gobelins Tapestry Works (1926) This photograph captures Mlle. Loger, a seventeen-year-old French girl, as she focuses intently on her work at the renowned Gobelins Tapestry Works in Paris. The Gobelins Manufactory, a world-famous institution with a rich history spanning over four centuries, had never before employed a female worker. Mlle. Loger's exceptional talent as a designer earned her this groundbreaking position, having outshone both boys and girls in a competitive selection process. As a student worker, Mlle. Loger began her journey at the esteemed tapestry works, with a two-year commitment to learning the intricacies of the craft. Following this period, she would embark on an additional ten-year apprenticeship, honing her skills under the guidance of experienced artisans. The photograph reveals a determined and focused young woman, poised to make her mark in the male-dominated world of tapestry making. The Gobelins Tapestry Works, renowned for its exquisite creations, had long maintained a tradition of employing only male workers. Mlle. Loger's arrival marked a significant shift in this tradition, paving the way for future generations of women to contribute their talents to the world of tapestry arts. This photograph serves as a testament to Mlle. Loger's courage, determination, and the recognition of her exceptional talent, which defied the conventions of her time.
