EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to an 18th century French barn, where the traditional art of cider pressing is being carried out with great care and dedication. Circa 1760, this charming scene captures the essence of rural life during this era. Apples, freshly picked from the orchard, are being sorted and prepared for pressing. The heavy wooden press, a staple in rural communities for centuries, stands at the heart of the action. The press, known as a "pressoir" in French, is a simple yet effective machine designed to extract the juice from the apples. A large wooden beam is raised and secured in place, and the apples are carefully arranged in a basket called a "cheese." Once the basket is filled, the beam is lowered, pressing the apples against a sieve, which separates the juice from the pulp. The men and women in the barn work together, each playing a crucial role in the process. Some sort and prepare the apples, while others operate the press. The air is filled with the sweet, tangy aroma of fresh apples and the sounds of laughter and conversation. Cider, a popular drink during the 18th century, was an essential part of daily life. It was consumed by all ages, from children to the elderly, and was often used as a substitute for water due to its refreshing properties. The process of cider making was a communal activity, bringing people together to work and socialize. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace, and the joys of nature were celebrated through the simple pleasures of food and drink.
