EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Peasant of the Podlaskie province in Poland during the early 19th century, engaged in the age-old practice of gathering honey. The vivid colors and intricate details bring to life this snapshot from Polish history. In this image, we see a hardworking tradesman surrounded by lush trees, immersed in his laborious task. With his traditional attire and rugged appearance, he embodies the resilience and strength of rural communities in Europe during that era. The scene showcases an important aspect of rural life - apiculture. The worker is seen carefully smoking out bees from their hive to collect precious honey. This ancient technique required skill and bravery as it involved handling swarms of buzzing insects. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Poland's countryside. It transports us back to a time when people relied on nature's resources for sustenance and livelihoods were intimately connected with the land. Preserved within the archives at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this rare lithograph offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we admire this piece by Bridgeman Images, let us reflect on how our ancestors' dedication to their craft has shaped our world today.
