Agricultural Agriculture Bottles Chile Chilean Cooking Custom Dinner Labourer Labourers Meat Roast Roasting Spit Wine Worker

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of agricultural labourers in Chile during the early 20th century. Taken circa 1910, the image shows a temporary camp where men have gathered around a roaring fire to prepare their evening meal. The air is filled with the savory aroma of spit-roasting meat, a traditional method of cooking used by the rural workers. The labourers, dressed in simple work clothes, are seen in various stages of preparing the meal. Some tend to the fire, turning the spit to ensure the meat is cooked evenly, while others chop vegetables or open bottles of Chilean wine. The bottles, with their distinctive labels, are arranged on a makeshift table, adding a touch of color to the scene. This moment of communal dining is an important part of the agricultural customs in Chile. After a long day of hard labor in the fields, the men would gather around the fire to share a meal and socialize with one another. The spit-roasted meat and Chilean wine were a welcome respite from the rigors of farm life. Despite the harsh conditions and long hours, the agricultural labourers in Chile took pride in their work and their traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the customs and daily life of these hardworking men.
