Apple Breton Cider Finistere 29 Manufacturing Technology Booze Fruit Juice

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in France, Brittany, Finistere (29), Douarnenez in the year 1900. The image shows a farmer diligently adding weight to a lever in order to squeeze apples for cider production. This traditional method of extracting fruit juice showcases the ingenuity and hard work of early twentieth-century manufacturing technology. The scene is filled with historical charm as we witness the Breton peasant engaging in the age-old practice of apple pressing. The lush orchard surroundings and rustic equipment transport us back to a simpler time when agriculture played a vital role in daily life. As the farmer exerts his strength on the lever, one can almost hear the sound of apples being crushed and juices flowing freely. The importance of this process for producing cider, a beloved beverage in France, is evident in every detail captured by Lux-in-Fine's lens. This photograph not only documents a specific moment in history but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage found in Brittany. It is an ode to tradition, craftsmanship, and the timeless artistry involved in creating something as simple yet essential as apple cider.
