EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the Salle d'Etiquetage, or the Labelling Room, at Fecamp, Normandy, France, circa 1910s. The room is filled with an enchanting atmosphere as women meticulously apply labels to rows upon rows of intricately designed bottles. The herbal liqueur being bottled is none other than the renowned Benedictine, a prized elixir that has captivated the palates of connoisseurs for generations. The plant-filled factory hums with industry and purpose, as the women work diligently to ensure each bottle is adorned with the distinctive Benedictine label. The air is thick with the aroma of the herbs used in the liqueur's creation, a heady blend of over 27 botanicals, including citrus peels, vanilla, and a secret blend of herbs and spices. The women in the photograph are deeply focused on their task, their expressions reflecting a sense of pride and dedication to their craft. Their deft hands move with practiced ease, applying the labels with precision and care. The room is bathed in soft, natural light that filters in through the windows, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the production of Benedictine. The liqueur has been crafted in the monastery at Fecamp since 1510, with the current recipe dating back to 1863. The intricate label design, featuring the monk emblem, is a testament to the brand's storied past and the dedication of the monks and women who have worked to bring this exquisite liqueur to the world. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the meticulous process of bottling and labelling a prized herbal liqueur in a bygone era. The scene is a beautiful fusion of industry, tradition, and craftsmanship, making it a truly captivating and intriguing image.
