Jules-Descartes Férat's etchings

Click any image to enlarge

Jules-Descartes Férat was a 19th Century French artist known for his etchings of factories and workers. He also illustrated numerous books, noticeably for Jules Verne, Edgar Allen Poe and Victor Hugo. I found his factory illustrations to be the most interesting, although a lot of critics think his work illustrating Verne's Mysterious Island to be his best work.
