EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of industrial spinning. The image showcases a young girl diligently working in a mechanical spinning machine, her petite frame juxtaposed against the massive instrument before her. Her youthful presence amidst this laborious environment evokes mixed emotions - admiration for her dedication and resilience, yet concern for the hardships she must have endured at such a tender age. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by children during that era. The unknown artist skillfully captures both the innocence and maturity present in this scene. The intricate details of the machinery highlight its complexity while emphasizing the contrast between childhood and industry. The composition draws our attention to every aspect: from the delicate threads being spun to create fabric, to the determined expression on the girl's face as she focuses on her task. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artifact offers valuable insight into an important chapter of human history - one marked by child labor and rapid industrialization. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back in time, compelled to reflect upon societal progress and appreciate how far we have come since then.
