EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fontainebleau Forest: Coalmen" takes us back to the late 19th century in France. The image, captured by Auguste Louis Lepere, showcases the hardworking coalmen of Fontainebleau Forest as they go about their laborious tasks. The composition portrays a group of men diligently engaged in their work amidst the serene beauty of the forest. Their weathered faces and sturdy postures reflect years of toil and resilience. Each figure is meticulously engraved on wood, capturing every detail with precision. Published in Revue Illustree between 1887-1890, this wood engraving is part of a bound volume containing 34 similar prints that provide a glimpse into various aspects of life during that era. The sheet measures approximately 16.7 x 22.1 cm, while the actual image occupies an area of 7.7 x 16 cm. Lepere's masterful depiction transports us to an era where manual labor played a vital role in sustaining communities. This artwork serves as a testament to the dedication and strength exhibited by these coalmen who tirelessly worked within Fontainebleau Forest. As we admire this historical piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize the significance it holds in preserving our collective memory and honoring those who came before us.
