EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant artwork captures a pivotal moment in human history - the early humans harvesting crops during the Iron Age. Set against a picturesque countryside backdrop, this coloured illustration showcases an industrious farming family engaged in various agricultural activities. In the background, we witness men diligently using iron sickles to harvest wheat, marking a significant technological advancement from the earlier use of bronze tools. To their right, a man is seen threshing the harvested wheat to release its precious grains. Meanwhile, on the left side of the image, a woman and child are depicted using a traditional millstone to grind the grain into flour. This scene provides us with valuable insights into our ancestors' daily lives and their mastery over agriculture. Agriculture first emerged during the late Stone Age (Neolithic), but by the time of the Iron Age, it had become an integral part of human civilization. The attention to detail in this 19th-century artwork by Louis Figuier transports us back in time as we marvel at our predecessors' ingenuity and resourcefulness. It serves as a reminder that our modern food industry owes its roots to these early farmers who tirelessly worked under open skies to provide sustenance for their families and communities. As we gaze upon this print from Science Photo Library's collection, let us appreciate how far humanity has come while acknowledging our debt to those who laid down foundations for future generations through their tireless efforts on ancient fields.
