EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Almanac illustrating traditional and modern methods of farming" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a vivid portrayal of the contrasting techniques used in agriculture during that time. The color lithograph showcases a scene filled with rich details, capturing the essence of both tradition and progress. In this image, we are transported to a bustling farmyard where farmers diligently work amidst their livestock. On one side, we witness the timeless practices of traditional farming; men and women manually harvest crops using scythes and sickles while horses plow the fields. This depiction pays homage to age-old agricultural customs that have been passed down through generations. On the other side of this vibrant composition, we see an emblematic symbol of modernization - a steam thresher known as "batteuse à vapeur". This technological marvel revolutionized farming by mechanizing crop separation processes. Its presence stands in stark contrast to its surroundings, representing how innovation was gradually transforming traditional agricultural practices. The farmhouse serves as a backdrop for this dynamic tableau, reminding us that these advancements took place within rural communities where families lived and worked together harmoniously. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect on our agricultural heritage while appreciating how far we have come in terms of technological advancement. It is an invitation to explore our roots and recognize the tireless efforts made by those who came before us in shaping today's farming industry.
