EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of forcible feeding for the fattening of geese, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century. The image showcases a glimpse into the traditional practice of force-feeding geese to produce foie gras. It is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in "Peoples of All Nations" by J. A. Hammerton. The photograph portrays a French peasant woman engaged in this age-old technique on a countryside farm. With determination, she administers feed to the geese using a long tube, ensuring their livers become engorged with fat. This process has been controversial due to concerns about animal welfare but remains deeply rooted in French culture. The composition highlights the rustic charm of the farmhouse and its surrounding farm buildings, emphasizing the connection between humans and animals within this agricultural setting. The image provides insight into farming practices from another era while also shedding light on France's rich culinary history. This photograph serves as both documentation and artistry, capturing an essential aspect of French gastronomy that continues to be celebrated today despite ongoing debates surrounding its ethics.
