EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print from the 19th century showcases a Surveyors level, an essential tool for land surveying. The French School's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in this educational card, which provides a glimpse into the working world of surveyors during that era. The image depicts a skilled worker using a tripod to stabilize the dumpy level while conducting surveys. With utmost precision and expertise, the surveyor ensures accurate measurements and assessments of land. This trade required immense concentration and attention to detail. Interestingly, this particular print features an unexpected twist - an advertisement for Chocolat Guerin Boutron! Perhaps it was common practice at the time to promote various products on educational cards. The juxtaposition of chocolate with such a technical occupation adds charm and curiosity to this artwork. As we admire this chromolitho print, we are reminded not only of the importance of surveying but also how different trades intersected with daily life in bygone eras. It serves as a delightful reminder that even seemingly unrelated domains like sweet shops could find their place within historical contexts. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance today.
