EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century in Normandy, France, where workers are diligently picking apples in a picturesque orchard. The image is sourced from "Le Savant du Foyer ou Notions Scientifiques Sur Les Objets Usuels de la Vie" a publication dating back to 1864. In this snapshot of history, we witness the seasonal activity of apple picking, an essential occupation during harvest time. A group of men and women can be seen carefully plucking ripe fruits from the branches of towering apple trees. Their dedication to their job is evident as they work together under the shade provided by nature's canopy. The scene also showcases a horse-drawn cart nearby, ready to transport the bountiful harvest. This archival engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights how manual labor was an integral part of fruit harvesting during this period. Ken Welsh's vintage illustration allows us to appreciate the historical significance behind such everyday activities that were vital for sustenance and livelihoods. It serves as a reminder of our agricultural roots and provides insight into life centuries ago when technology had yet to revolutionize farming practices. As we gaze upon this enchanting picture print, let us marvel at the hardworking individuals who dedicated themselves to providing nourishment through their laborious efforts amidst breathtaking surroundings in Normandy's fruitful lands.
