Created by Auguste Louis Lepere, a renowned French artist, this wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of daily life along Canal St. Martin. The scene depicts laborers unloading sacks of plaster from a barge, with their strong and determined figures highlighted against the backdrop of the canal's tranquil waters. Lepere's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully brings to life the textures and movement within this industrial setting. Measuring at just 15 x 21.2 cm, this small yet impactful print invites viewers to immerse themselves in its intricate composition.

Through his wood engraving technique, Lepere not only documents a specific moment but also preserves it for generations to come. This remarkable piece from "La Revue Illustree" serves as a testament to Auguste Louis Lepere's artistic prowess and provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter of French history that continues
