EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1762 transports us back in time to the bustling harvest season in rural France. The image showcases a scene of hardworking men and women diligently reaping the bountiful cornfields with their sickles. Every stroke of their tools represents not only their labor but also the promise of sustenance and abundance for their community. As the golden grain is harvested, it is meticulously tied up into sheaves by skilled hands, ensuring its preservation during the drying process. These neatly bound bundles are then stood in stooks, carefully arranged to allow air circulation that will aid in drying out the precious crop. This traditional method employed by these dedicated agricultural laborers demonstrates both their knowledge and respect for nature's cycles. The significance of this momentous occasion is further emphasized by its inclusion in La Nouvelle Maison Rustique, an esteemed publication on agriculture and farming practices at that time. This particular edition being the eighth speaks volumes about its popularity and relevance among farmers seeking guidance. Through this remarkable engraving, we catch a glimpse into an era where food production was intimately intertwined with human effort and ingenuity. It serves as a timeless reminder of our connection to nature's bounty and pays homage to those who have tirelessly worked throughout history to ensure our sustenance.
