Louviers, the Audresset factory
This work is the result of a commission by the Museum of
Louviers for an exhibition mixing historical documents, technical
elements and
manufactured goods from the Audresset mills.
Audresset was the last mill in the city, producing cashmere thread for the fashion design industry.
Not long after, the production was delocalized, leaving around forty
workers out of their jobs; then the buildings burned, ruining all hopes
of return of the work.
A catalog (Portrait de la derniere filature de Louviers) was published by the Museum of Louviers.
