EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The measure and transport of coal" from the historic Ordonnances Royaux de la Juridiction de la Prevote des Marchands de la Ville de Paris, dating back to 1528. The artwork, attributed to Antoine Verard, provides a glimpse into the medieval era's laborious process of handling coal. In this scene, we witness workers diligently engaged in their tasks. With bags slung over their shoulders and shovels in hand, they navigate through a heap of coal with utmost precision. The printed text surrounding them adds an air of authenticity to the image, reminding us that these actions were governed by royal edicts. Illuminated by soft strokes of watercolor and gouache on paper, the painting exudes a sense of timeless craftsmanship. Each worker carries his burden with determination and strength as they fulfill their duty as carriers of this essential fuel source. Originally published in 1501, this reprint transports us back in time to an era where manual labor was at its peak. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability throughout history. Displayed within the Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris in France, this piece offers both historical significance and artistic beauty. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of our ancestors' hard work but also how far we have come in terms of technological advancements that have transformed industries such as coal transportation.
