EDITORS COMMENTS

This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to early 20th century Paris, where a group of dedicated workmen are diligently laying an asphalt-based surface on a bustling city street. The scene is filled with activity as sand is being spread meticulously to prevent the freshly laid surface from adhering to passing traffic until it sets. In the foreground, we see the workmen taking a momentary break from their laborious task. They gather around a brazier, using its warmth not only for comfort but also to clean and heat their tools. Their faces reflect both exhaustion and determination, showcasing the hardworking spirit that has shaped cities throughout history. The raw asphalt used in this process is fascinatingly described as being found in natural deposits or obtained as a by-product of petroleum and coal-tar industries. This trade card, dating back to around 1900, serves as a testament to the advancements made in civil engineering during that era. Asphalt has long been utilized for road construction due to its durability and ability to withstand heavy traffic. Its hydrocarbon composition makes it an ideal material for creating smooth surfaces that can endure years of wear and tear. This remarkable chromolithograph offers us a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the ingenuity required in building our modern urban landscapes. It captures not only the physical labor involved but also highlights how various industries intersected during this period of rapid industrialization.
