EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the castle of Isenburg, showcasing the distillation process of kirsch. Engraved by Frederic Theodore Lix, this image was intended to illustrate the story "A Through Alsace and Lorraine" written by Charles Grad, a German depute. The engraving was featured in the renowned publication "Tour du Monde 1888" directed by Edouard Charton. The scene depicted is one of meticulous craftsmanship and manufacturing technology. It showcases the intricate process of producing kirsch, an alcoholic beverage made from cherries. In this historic setting, we witness skilled artisans using traditional instruments to carefully extract and refine the essence of cherries. The atmosphere within the castle walls exudes a sense of timelessness and tradition. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to 19th-century France when such practices were still prevalent. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography perfectly captures every detail with precision and clarity. This remarkable piece serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in alcohol production and as a glimpse into life during that era. As we admire this enchanting print from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance in preserving moments like these for generations to come.
