EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the industrial process of brick-making at the Chepy Brickworks in Marne department, north-eastern France, circa 1907. The central focus of the image is the massive oven or kiln, its white-hot interior glowing through the open door. Surrounding the oven, a team of workers and horses are busy at work. Horses and horse-drawn wagons dominate the scene, with teams of workers shoveling raw clay and bricks, while others load the wagons with the newly-baked bricks. The chimney of the kiln billows thick, black smoke, while a large slag heap lies nearby, a testament to the intense heat and energy required to produce the bricks. The scene is one of industry and production, with the workers and horses in a rhythmic dance of labor. Their faces are etched with determination and focus, as they work together to keep the brickworks running smoothly. The overall atmosphere is one of hard work and dedication, with the promise of a finished product that will contribute to the growth and development of the community. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of industrial manufacturing during the early 1900s in France. Despite the harsh conditions, the workers at the Chepy Brickworks are a testament to the human spirit and the drive to create and build, leaving a lasting legacy that can still be seen in the infrastructure of Marne department today.
