EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Bert Hardy in 1955, we are transported to the picturesque Quinto da Foja in Portugal. The image beautifully depicts the age-old tradition of rice harvesting, showcasing a group of hardworking farmers engaged in their laborious task. As the midday sun casts long shadows across the field, three individuals - two men and one woman - stand tall amidst the bountiful crop. With focused determination etched on their faces, they meticulously gather handfuls of rice plants and expertly toss them into the air. This time-honored technique serves to separate valuable grains from unwanted chaff and foreign bodies. The scene exudes a sense of unity as these dedicated individuals work together harmoniously against nature's backdrop. Their full-length figures symbolize strength and resilience while highlighting their commitment to sustaining their rural community through agriculture. This evocative print transports us back to an era when manual labor was at its peak, reminding us of our deep-rooted connection with nature's abundance. It is a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness that has stood the test of time. Bert Hardy's masterful photography immortalizes this momentous occasion, capturing not only an agricultural practice but also preserving a slice of Portuguese history for generations to come.
