EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1876, showcasing an advertisement that depicts a worker colony. The illustration, sourced from Le Monde Illustre, was created by the French School in the 19th century and is now part of the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. The image showcases a utopian vision of a housing development built specifically for factory workers on the outskirts of Paris. With lush green trees surrounding it, this idyllic estate features neatly arranged houses that form a harmonious town planning layout. A total of 38 dwellings can be seen in this worker city. The advert serves as both an artistic piece and a historical document, reflecting the aspirations and ideals prevalent during that time period. It represents an era when urban planners sought to create better living conditions for industrial laborers by providing them with comfortable homes within close proximity to their workplaces. Located in Ivry-sur-Seine, this utopian worker colony aimed to improve not only the physical environment but also foster a sense of community among its residents. The engraving captures these ambitions beautifully while offering us insight into how society envisioned progress and social welfare at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded of the power of imagination and human ingenuity in shaping our cities and communities throughout history.
