Soap Making
All Resolutions
The process of making tallow soap at a factory in the Paris area (boiling the soap and pouring it into molds).
(P. 441.)
Description:
Interior view of a tallow soap factory, showing workers attending to the final stage of the kettle process, when the mixture of fat and alkali is heated one last time. The neat soap that forms at the surface is then poured into large molds, where it will cool and harden.
The caption reads in the original French: fabrication du savon de suif dans une usine des environs de Paris. (Opérations de la coction du savon et du coulage dans les mises.)
