EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated circa 1760 from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the various stages of cotton processing during the 18th century in rural France. The image transports us back in time to an era before the Industrial Revolution, when cotton production was primarily carried out in the countryside. The scene unfolds in a picturesque field, where cotton plants are meticulously tended to by farmers. In the foreground, a woman is shown plucking the soft, white cotton fibers from the ripe bolls, while her companion spreads out a large cloth to collect the harvested cotton. Further along the row, another woman is seen separating the cotton fibers from the seeds using a wooden paddle and a basket. The manufacturing process continues as we move towards the right of the image, where a group of workers are gathered around a large wooden table. They are engaged in carding, a crucial step in preparing the cotton for spinning. Using large, wooden cards, they remove any remaining impurities and align the fibers to make them easier to spin. The final stage of the process is depicted in the background, where a spinner is seated at a spinning wheel, transforming the carded cotton into yarn. The yarn is then wound onto a spool, ready to be woven into fabric. This print provides a unique and intriguing insight into the pre-industrial cotton industry, showcasing the hard work and dedication required to transform raw cotton into valuable textiles. The idyllic setting and the diverse range of activities depicted make this an essential addition to any collection focused on textile history, rural life, or the history of labor during the 18th century.
