EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Ploughing and harrowing with horses and sowing seed broadcast, 1762" takes us back to the heart of rural life in 18th century France. The scene depicts a group of hardworking peasants engaged in the age-old agricultural practices of ploughing, harrowing, and sowing seeds using horses as their faithful companions. In the background stands a postmill, its towering presence symbolizing the importance of grinding corn for sustenance. This image beautifully captures the essence of farming as an occupation deeply rooted in tradition and necessity. The men depicted here are not just farmers; they represent resilience amidst poverty. Their weathered faces tell stories of perseverance through challenging times. Despite their humble circumstances, these individuals possess an unwavering determination to cultivate success from their fields. Metaphorically speaking, this engraving embodies the concept of "sowing the seeds of success". It serves as a reminder that hard work and dedication can lead to fruitful outcomes even in difficult circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time by an unknown creator, we are transported to a simpler era where man worked harmoniously with nature to sustain his livelihood. This monochrome masterpiece is not merely a print but rather a window into centuries past – offering us insight into both the struggles and triumphs experienced by those who tilled these very fields.
