EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Destroying Locusts" takes us back to the early 20th century French countryside, where a group of dedicated workers are combating a devastating plague. The vibrant color lithograph showcases the agricultural scene in all its glory, depicting farmers and laborers united against a common enemy – swarms of locusts. The image captures the urgency and determination of these hardworking individuals as they tirelessly work together to protect their crops from destruction. With sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, they stand amidst fields infested with grasshoppers, ready to take on this relentless invasion. Intriguingly, this illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on August 4th, 1901. It serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by farmers during that era and highlights their resilience in overcoming such adversities. The composition not only portrays an important moment in history but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage associated with French agriculture. The picturesque farmhouse nestled amidst rolling hills adds charm to this rural setting while emphasizing France's deep connection to its land and farming traditions. Through this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into an era where nature's wrath tested human ingenuity and perseverance. This evocative piece reminds us of the tireless efforts made by those who have worked relentlessly throughout history to secure our food supply and protect our way of life from menacing pests like locusts.
