EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork captures the essence of Edam cheese production in the Netherlands. The engraving showcases a dedicated cheese maker meticulously kneading and moulding Edam cheese, a renowned dairy product made from cow's milk. This traditional method involves using spherical moulds, as depicted in the illustration, which were commonly employed during that era. Published in France around 1880 as part of "Grands Hommes et Grands Faits de l'Industrie" (Great Men and Great Facts of Industry), this monochrome masterpiece offers a glimpse into the historical significance of European cheesemaking. It highlights the fusion of human skill and industrial technology prevalent during that time. The image portrays an adult male worker engrossed in his manual labor, utilizing various equipment such as sieves and pails to ensure precise processing. The attention to detail is evident, showcasing the dedication required for producing high-quality cheeses. Not only does this artwork provide insight into Dutch culinary history but it also emphasizes how food industries have evolved over time. Fromageries like these played a vital role in shaping Europe's rich gastronomic heritage. This thought-provoking print from Science Photo Library serves as both an educational tool and a visual testament to centuries-old traditions surrounding Edam production.
