EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating glimpse into the world of sericulture in 18th century England. In this intricate engraving by Benjamin Cole, we are transported to a bustling silkworm farm, where the delicate process of silk production unfolds before our eyes. The scene showcases the interior of a rearing house or Magnangerie, filled with activity and industry. A group of male and female farm workers can be seen diligently tending to the silkworms, carefully feeding them mulberry leaves – their primary source of sustenance. The room is adorned with vibrant green foliage as piles of freshly collected mulberry leaves lie nearby. Amidst the flurry of work, a dog curiously observes its human companions while an elegant lady sweeps away any remnants on the floor with her broom. The presence of both men and women highlights how sericulture was an inclusive industry that employed individuals from various backgrounds. This print not only captures the essence of rural life but also serves as a testament to England's thriving textile industry during this period. It reminds us that behind every luxurious piece of silk fabric lies countless hours spent nurturing these remarkable creatures and cultivating their favorite food source. Benjamin Cole's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, allowing us to appreciate the dedication and skill required for silk production in 18th century Britain.
