EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Almanac advertising ammonium sulphate, January 1911" takes us back in time to a bygone era of agricultural advertising. The lithograph, created by Henri Gerbault in Paris, France, showcases the contrasting lives of farmers who have embraced the power of fertilisers. In this thought-provoking image, we see two distinct scenes side by side. On the left-hand side stands a group of prosperous farmers with beaming smiles on their faces. They proudly display an array of bountiful crops such as corn, grapes, carrots, and pears - all thanks to the magic of ammonium sulphate fertiliser. Their contentment is palpable as they revel in their successful harvests. However, on the right-hand side lies a stark contrast - a scene filled with sorrow and despair. A poor farmer can be seen shedding tears while clutching empty sacks symbolizing his failed crops. This heart-wrenching depiction serves as a reminder that without proper fertilisation techniques like those offered by ammonium sulphate, farming can become an arduous struggle for survival. Through this powerful advertisement from over a century ago, we are reminded of the crucial role that chemicals play in agriculture and how they can transform both livelihoods and landscapes. It serves as an enduring testament to the impact that innovative solutions have on our ability to cultivate abundant food sources for generations to come.
