Description
Scenes of a trade charcoal burners. Woodcut, 1500/01. From Les Ordonnances de Paris. A Charcoal Burner's job was a humble one, but one that in pre industrial society was extremely important none the less. For centuries many trades depended on charcoal as their main source of fuel. Iron working, blacksmithing, brick making, glass making, foundry work such as casting bells and cannons, gold and silversmithing, all used huge quantities of charcoal.
