"Lettuces: From Fields Near Paris to Gardens in the UK, a Visual Journey" Step into the world of lettuces, where lush green fields near Paris, France serve as the backdrop for this versatile crop. In these fields, lettuce thrives under the gentle rays of sunlight, promising a bountiful harvest. However, it's not just farmers who appreciate lettuces; common large garden slugs in UK gardens find them equally irresistible. These slimy creatures make their way onto tender lettuce leaves, leaving behind their telltale trails. Delve into history with a vintage lettuce seed packet that holds secrets of bygone times. Its faded colors and intricate design transport us to an era when growing lettuces was both practical and beautiful. Moving from still life to vibrant illustrations by Federico Ribas Montenegro, we witness the artistic allure captured on paper. Each stroke of color brings out the crispness and freshness that makes these leafy greens so appealing. Travel back in time with Dorothea Lange's captivating photographs from 1939. In Westmorland's Imperial Valley or Ontario's Malheur County in Oregon, Filipinos are seen cutting and thinning lettuce with care and precision. Their hard work is evident as they tend to each plant diligently. In Salinas Valley, California - another destination on Lange's photographic journey - Filipino boys form gangs while thinning lettuce together. The camaraderie among them shines through even amidst their laborious task. Lange also captures individual Filipino field laborers against vast landscapes dotted with rows upon rows of thriving lettuces. Their resilience and determination remind us of the human stories behind our food supply chain. From picturesque fields near Paris to bustling gardens across continents, they have woven themselves into our lives throughout history. Whether enjoyed fresh in salads or cooked into delectable dishes worldwide, these humble greens continue to nourish and inspire.
