77190Paris Citroën 1915-1916. In two volumes. Oblong folio 31.5 x 43.7 cm. 71 original photographs 22.0 x 28.5-35.5 cm mounted on grey cardboard with printed captions 60; 11. Uniform full mottled calf. Boards with double gilt-rolled ornamental borders and gilt title. = A very rare set both volumes dealing with the Parisian factory founded by André-Gustave Citroën 1878-1935 renowned for its technologically advanced cars but also for its contributions to the French war industry during WWI and in particular the contributions women made as factory workers in the mass production of artillery shells. The first volume is entirely devoted to this subject showing the female munitions-workers at work. André Citroën played an essential part in French women's emancipation: once the women had left their traditional singular role as homemakers replacing the men who fought in the trenches there was no looking back and after the war their participation in the country's workforce became permanent. "World War I radically changed women's role in society as they stepped into the boots of men gone to fight for their countries. In cities across Europe women took on traditionally 'male' jobs - waiting on tables delivering the mail teaching in boys' schools or handling cash as bank clerks. 'Women rapidly became indispensable not only in the nursing and welfare services but in offices and factories and agriculture changing the whole balance of society in the process' says historian Michael Howard. As soon as war broke out in 1914 France's prime minister Rene Viviani called on women to 'replace in the workplace those who are on the battlefield'. . From 1915 onwards Europe's industry - devoted to the war effort - relied massively on the female workforce as did that of the United States from 1917. 'Without women victory will tarry' warned Britain's soon-to-be prime minister David Lloyd George in 1915. Some 400000 women were toiling in France's war factories by 1918 - a quarter of the workforce - handling some 2500 shells per exhausting 11-hour shifts" AFP. The second volume records the building and operational start of the factory itself. It shows the evolution of the works starting with a photo of the still-vacant lot save for gardens and sheds followed chronologically by views of all building developments including one with the famous Eiffel Tower in the distance. Groundwork started in March 1915 and by the 28 September the largely female workforce had already become fully active. The final photo shows the official ceremonial opening of the factory on 24 June 1916 revealing decorations given by General Gilinski on behalf of the Russian emperor. "As soon as war was declared in August 1914 André Citroën was mobilized as a lieutenant then as captain in the 2nd Grenoble Artillery Regiment. On the eastern front he was able to witness France's lack of artillery and ammunition to counter the German forces. Following the death of his brother Bernard on the front André Citroën was determined not only to do his duty but also to repel the enemy as far as possible. In January 1915 he proposed to General Louis Baquet director of artillery at the Ministry of War which was sorely lacking in ammunition to apply Fordism in a factory built in three months and capable of producing 5000 to 10000 artillery shells of Type 75 per day. Thanks to his savings those of his right-hand man Georges-Marie Haardt and especially financing from a rich diamond dealer of Armenian origin Atanik Eknayan who had already saved his fragile Mors 12 car business Citroën erected a huge ultramodern factory on 15 hectares of vacant land and vegetable gardens on the Quai de Javel. With some 13000 workers the factory produced 23 million shells at a rate of 10000 per day an unprecedented rate at the time. 'You have to produce quickly well and economically to put the products manufactured within the reach of the greatest possible number of consumers he said. The pace the factories imposed on workers was tiring and as a result André Citroën was sometimes considered a despot. Nevertheless he was one of the first manufacturers concerned about the well-being of his workers and avoided imposing repetitive tasks. André Citroën's ammunition business quickly gained a reputation and became a model of organization efficiency and social responsibility. Major personalities both civil and military visited the factory. Between 1917 and 1918 the government also charged Citroën with reorganizing supplies for the armaments industry the military postal services and with the distribution of bread ration tickets in the Paris region. When the war was over André Citroën decided to convert his factory on the Quai de Javel into a car manufacturing plan" taken from French Wikipedia.
