EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Tilling the land, 1775" takes us back to the heart of rural life in 18th century France. The image is a reproduction from La nouvelle maison rustique, ou economie generale de tous les biens de campagne, a comprehensive guide on countryside living during that era. In this scene, we witness the timeless art of agriculture as men and women work together harmoniously to till the fertile fields. A horse-drawn plough cuts through the earth while a woman carefully sows seeds behind it. The windmill in the background stands tall against an expansive sky, symbolizing both progress and reliance on nature's elements. The print captures not only the physical labor involved but also highlights the importance of community cooperation in sustaining agricultural practices. It serves as a reminder of how essential farming was for survival during this period. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and texture to this historical snapshot, emphasizing every detail with precision. Through this artwork by Louis Liger, we are transported into an era where hard work and dedication were fundamental values cherished by those who relied on their connection with nature for sustenance. As we admire this piece today, let us appreciate our ancestors' commitment to cultivating their lands and recognize how far we have come in modern agriculture while still acknowledging its roots firmly planted in history.
