This plate depicts men flattening and drying heavy pasteboard for the production of boxes. During the 1820s and early 1830s, Sèvres produced a dessert service illustrating workers of various industries. Pieces from this service, now extremely rare, provide valuable visual records of techniques used in a variety of trades-from creating artificial flowers and processing refined sugar to producing pastries and hats, wallpaper and tapestries. France’s last king, Louis-Philippe (reign 1830-1848), purchased the 119-piece service for presentation to the Austrian diplomat Prince von Metternich.
