EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by French photographer Leonard de Selva in the late 19th century, transports us back to a logging camp in the Chaumont region of Haute Marne, France. The image showcases a bucolic scene where hardworking loggers are accompanied by their families. In this snapshot of history, we witness the fusion of labor and family life as men clad in rugged attire stand tall beside their axes and saws while women and children gather around them. The expressions on their faces speak volumes about the challenges they faced but also reveal a sense of unity and resilience. The composition is beautifully framed, capturing both the physicality of manual labor and the tender moments shared between loved ones. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst demanding work conditions, bonds were forged within these close-knit communities. Leonard de Selva's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this portrait-style photograph. Each face tells its own story - weathered lines etched onto weary countenances juxtaposed with youthful innocence captured in young eyes. As we gaze upon this timeless piece from Ducos Collection, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten; an era when families relied on one another for support amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a testament to human strength, familial love, and our ability to endure through adversity.
