Description
Photo of a reproduction of a forge workshop until the beginning of the 20th century. The worker in the foreground is forging a piece of iron using the force of the drop hammer. The partially hidden character, is a companion, often a child, who must operate the forge bellows by pulling the lever that is above him, so that the worker can warm the piece even more when it is necessary .
The noise and heat in these workshops were unbearable ...

Photo d'une reproduction d'un atelier de forge jusqu'au début du XXème siècle. L'ouvrier au premier plan est en train de forger une pièce de fer en utilisant la force du marteau-pilon. Le personnage en partie caché, est un compagnon, souvent un enfant, qui doit faire fonctionner le soufflet de forge en tirant sur la manette qui est au-dessus de lui, afin que l'ouvrier puisse chauffer davantage la pièce quand c'est nécessaire. Le bruit et la température dans ces ateliers étaient insupportables...

La vie de ces ouvriers devait être tellement dure pour un salaire de misère......ta photo montre bien l'énorme martinet, si proche de l'ouvrier, c'est une magnifique prise de vue et quel émouvant témoignage, Jean-Claude !

Nice capture of this wonderful reproduction of these labourers. The conditions in past centuries under which many had to work were terrible, but one has to ask themselves if work conditions have really improved today for so many people around the world--e.g. mining operations of Africa, manufacturing centers China, Bangladesh are actually no better than slave labour enterprises.

Ah, les vieux métiers c'était quelque chose, un grand respect pour ces hommes qui faisaient tout de leurs mains au péril de leur santé. J'admire toutes ces choses là. Merci à toi JC de nous en faire profiter !!

Une excellente photo ! Cette reconstitution permet de se faire une idée du travail effectué avec ce type de marteau-pilon que tu nous as montré dans les précédentes photos de Villefranche de Conflent et permet également de mieux saisir la taille du marteau-pilon par rapport aux humains !

Superb photo!
It is only a pity that more and more craft / craftsmanship is lost.

At least they had drop hammers, that would be a lot better than hammering those out by hand.

Man at work! Oh yes, that's the hammer we've seen before, the hammer with hydropower. Very interesting! Very nice shot, Jean-Claude.
