Picking the Fruit, 1912
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of life in early 20th century New Zealand. This enchanting print by Charles Robinson captures the essence of agriculture and teamwork as it portrays a group of women and children diligently picking fruit in an orchard. The vibrant colors bring to life the lush surroundings and highlight the importance of nature's bounty. The image showcases a young girl, her face filled with determination, carefully placing ripe fruits into her basket. She is accompanied by other females who work together harmoniously, their collaboration evident in their synchronized movements. A ladder stands nearby, symbolizing assistance and support within this close-knit community. This artwork was featured in Alice Talwin Morris' book "More About The Empire" which aimed to shed light on various aspects of British colonies during that era. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when manual labor played an integral role in sustaining communities. Charles Robinson's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also the significance of human connection and cooperation. As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded that even simple tasks like fruit picking can be transformed into acts of artistry. This remarkable piece serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece—a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by those who worked tirelessly on our lands.
