Agriculture C1920 Crop Cutting Gathering Harvest Harvesting Implements Loading Picks Poppies Scythes Sharpening Stooks Thirst Quenching


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of harvest time in France during the early 20th century, circa 1920. The scene unfolds in a lush, golden field, where men, women, and children are deeply engrossed in the labor-intensive process of harvesting the ripe crop. The air is thick with the scent of ripe grain and wildflowers, as the farmers go about their tasks with a sense of purpose and determination. In the foreground, a group of men are sharpening their scythes, preparing for the next round of cutting. Their faces are etched with the lines of hard work, their eyes focused on the task at hand. Nearby, another man is bent over, cutting the crop with a deft flick of the wrist. The sun casts long shadows across the field, adding to the sense of timelessness and tradition. Women and children are also involved in the harvest, gathering the cut grain into stooks and loading it onto a cart. A young girl pauses in her work, her eyes fixed on a field of poppies that grow among the crops. She reaches down to pluck a few of the vibrant flowers, their red petals a stark contrast to the golden wheat. Despite the hard work and long hours, there is a sense of camaraderie and community among the harvesters. They take breaks to quench their thirst, passing around a jug of water or a bottle of wine. The passage of time is marked not by the ticking of a clock, but by the changing of the seasons and the progress of the harvest. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when agriculture was a way of life and the rhythms of nature dictated the pace of daily life. It is a poignant reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life, and the resilience and determination of those who worked the land.
