EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Grape pickers at work" captures the essence of a bygone era in rural France. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases a group of hardworking men and women diligently harvesting grapes in St Emilion, Bordeaux. The scene depicts a picturesque vineyard with rows upon rows of grapevines stretching into the distance. Women can be seen stooped over, carefully picking ripe grapes into their buckets while supervised by an overseer. The men stand tall nearby, ensuring that the workers are efficiently carrying out their tasks. This photograph offers a glimpse into the labor-intensive process of wine making during that time period. It portrays not only the physical demands placed on these grape pickers but also highlights the importance of teamwork and supervision in achieving successful harvests. The rustic charm of this agricultural scene is further enhanced by its location amidst rolling countryside and traditional farmhouses. It serves as a reminder of how viticulture played an integral role in shaping the landscape and culture of Bordeaux. Preserved within private collections for decades, this remarkable piece from Le Figaro Illustre's article on grape harvesting has now been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its historical significance makes it an ideal addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone interested in exploring France's rich winemaking heritage.
