EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic engraving from 1860 titled "Description of the different products and uses of paper: old paper is picked up to become rag again". The plate, known as "Le papier et ses produits" was featured in the book "les Recreations instructives" and created by Jules Delbruck. This synoptique painting provides a fascinating glimpse into the laborious process of recycling old paper. The image depicts a chiffonier, or rag picker, diligently collecting discarded papers to be transformed into rags once again. It offers insight into the French industry during the 19th century when recycling played an essential role in sustaining the production of new paper. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details, this engraving transports us back in time while highlighting the importance of resourcefulness and sustainability. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people recognized the value of reusing materials for various purposes. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection but has been made available through Stefano Bianchetti's efforts. As we admire this artwork, let us appreciate both its historical significance and its relevance today as we strive towards more eco-friendly practices.
