EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, transports us to the picturesque commune of Veules-les-Roses in the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy, France. The image showcases the lush, verdant fields of watercress (Cressonnieres), a staple of the local agriculture and a key ingredient in French cuisine. Nestled in the northern region of France, Veules-les-Roses is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, with its winding river, charming houses, and the vibrant, emerald-green watercress fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. In the early 1900s, watercress cultivation was a significant economic activity in the commune, providing livelihoods for many local families. The photograph captures the essence of rural life in this idyllic corner of Normandy. The watercress fields are meticulously tended, with the plants growing in shallow, clear water, allowing them to thrive in the cool, moist conditions. The workers, dressed in traditional clothing, can be seen carefully harvesting the cress, their backs bent against the backdrop of the rolling hills and the clear blue sky. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures of rural life and the beauty of the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of Veules-les-Roses and the importance of preserving the traditions and landscapes that define this charming commune in the heart of Normandy.
