EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional grape harvest process in the commune of Gien, Loiret, France during the 1910s. The image showcases a street-mobile grape press in action, with workers skillfully turning the handle and operating the lever to press baskets filled with ripe grapes. The grapes, bursting with juice, spill over into barrels below, ready to begin the transformation into wine. The press, a testament to the region's rich winemaking history, is a screw press, which was a common method used during this time for crushing and extracting juice from the grapes. The manufacturing process was a communal effort, with the entire village coming together to participate in the harvest. The press, along with other equipment, would travel from one vineyard to another, allowing the grapes to be processed efficiently and effectively. The scene exudes a sense of tradition and industry, as the workers continue the age-old techniques passed down through generations. The rustic charm of the press and the simple yet determined expressions of the workers add to the authenticity of this moment in time.
