1737 1813 Agriculturist Antoine Augustin Parmentier
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage trade card features a portrait of Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, a renowned French agriculturist who revolutionized the agricultural industry in the 18th century. Born in 1737, Parmentier dedicated his life to promoting the cultivation and consumption of potatoes in France, despite initial resistance from the public.
The image captures Parmentier's determined expression as he holds a potato plant, symbolizing his passion for innovation and progress in agriculture. His work paved the way for the widespread adoption of potatoes as a staple food crop in Europe, ultimately improving food security and nutrition for millions of people.
This historical print serves as a tribute to Parmentier's legacy and contributions to French agriculture. It offers viewers a glimpse into the life of an influential figure whose ideas continue to impact farming practices today.
Displayed with pride, this trade card is not just a piece of history but also a reminder of the importance of perseverance and dedication in pursuing one's goals. As we admire this artwork by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded that progress often comes from challenging conventions and embracing new ideas – just like Antoine-Augustin Parmentier did centuries ago.
