"Sorting Through the Ages: From Gossage Soap to Mythical Creatures and Wild Cattle" Step back in time with this captivating advert from 1900, showcasing the importance of sorting. Just like German and Norse myths that revolve around order and classification, sorting has always played a significant role in our lives. Did you know that even wild cattle understand the value of sorting? These majestic creatures instinctively organize themselves into herds based on hierarchy. It's nature's way of maintaining balance. In the world of printing, old lead type for letterpress was meticulously sorted to create beautiful texts. Each tiny character had its place, ensuring flawless communication through ink on paper. From agriculture to artistry, sorting remains essential. Take a glimpse at Rafta Farm in Cornwall during potato harvest season – farmers diligently sort through their bountiful crop, separating quality spuds from imperfections. But wait. Sorting isn't just about practicality; it can also be whimsical. Enter "The Lie" by William Heath Robinson – an imaginative illustration where chaos is tamed by meticulous organization. Even Mother Nature understands the significance of sorting when it comes to tomatoes. Explore various tomato varieties arranged neatly before your eyes – each unique flavor waiting to tantalize your taste buds. Bugleweed - Ajuga reptans Atropurpurea - showcases how plants sort themselves out too. This vibrant purple beauty knows precisely where it belongs in nature's grand design. Traveling across continents, we find ourselves at Djanik Elmassian Fig Factory in Izmir, Turkey – witness figs being carefully sorted according to size and ripeness before they reach your plate or become delicious preserves. Not limited to physical objects alone, even old lead letters form words like "Podcast. " In a digital age dominated by audio content, these traditional elements remind us that sorting transcends mediums throughout history. And let's not forget Lower Saxony in Germany, where trays of various tomato types await their destiny.
