EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Lumiere autochrome photograph captures the essence of a sumptuous Harvest Festival display in France, dated 1911. The image showcases an abundance of fresh produce spread out on long tables, adorned with loaves of bread and fruits. The vibrant colors of the vegetables and fruits are brought to life by the autochrome process, a pioneering color photography technique of the early 20th century. The setting is a grand hall or balcony, filled with the warm glow of natural light filtering through the windows. The atmosphere is one of celebration and abundance, as the community comes together to honor the harvest season. The tables are laden with an impressive array of vegetables, from plump red tomatoes and golden corn to crisp green beans and earthy carrots. The fruits are equally enticing, with ripe apples, pears, and grapes adding a sweet contrast to the savory vegetables. The loaves of bread, with their golden crusts and soft interiors, are a staple of French cuisine and are proudly displayed amongst the produce. The Harvest Festival was an important tradition in rural France, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the region during the 1910s. The image is a testament to the beauty and bounty of the land, and serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures of the harvest season.
