From luscious berries to succulent stone fruits, these "Fruits à noyau" entice us with their vibrant colors and sweet aromas, and is as if nature herself has painted a masterpiece for our enjoyment. Yet not all is idyllic in this portrayal of England. The engravings reveal a darker side - that of burned goods or sold merchandise.

The vivid hues bring these wartime scenes to life; they serve as a stark reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, humanity's resilience shines through. Each image tells a story - tales etched onto paper by skilled hands. This folio serves as both an artistic treasure trove and historical document rolled into one. With each turn of the page, we are transported back in time to witness snippets of daily life during WWI – moments captured forever within these hand-coloured frames.
