EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Picking Oranges on the Mediterranean" we are transported to the late 19th century, where a scene of vibrant activity unfolds along the picturesque French coast. The color lithograph by Maurice Charles Mathieu Bonvoisin, also known as Mars, captures a moment of everyday life in exquisite detail. A group of hardworking women, dressed in traditional French attire, can be seen diligently picking oranges from towering trees that stretch towards the clear blue sky. With ladders propped against the trunks and baskets at their feet, they skillfully navigate through branches laden with ripe fruit. Their dedication is palpable as they carefully select each orange with precision and care. The Mediterranean Sea serves as a breathtaking backdrop to this idyllic setting. Sailing ships dotting its azure waters add an element of maritime charm to the scene. As these women go about their work under the warm sun, one cannot help but appreciate their connection to nature and their role in sustaining local communities. This illustration was originally created for "Aux Rives D'Or" a publication showcasing life along the Mediterranean coast between Marseilles and Genoa. It offers us a glimpse into not only agricultural practices but also botanical studies and scientific methods employed during that era. As we admire this beautiful print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it reminds us of France's rich cultural heritage intertwined with natural beauty—a testament to both human ingenuity and our harmonious relationship with Mother Earth.
