EDITORS COMMENTS
The campaign to promote repopulation in the French countryside during the 1920s gains momentum as evidenced in this heartwarming photograph. The image captures a moment of simple joy and connection between the local countryfolk and their beloved pigs. A family gathers around as a sow and her piglets playfully frolic in the grass, while a young girl reaches into a basket to collect freshly foraged fruits and vegetables. The scene exudes a sense of self-sufficiency and harmony with nature, as the family makes the most of their smallholding and prepares for the coming days. The countryside of France in the 1920s was dotted with such scenes, as the government and local communities worked together to encourage the growth of rural populations and the revitalization of traditional farming practices. The charm and authenticity of this photograph serve as a reminder of a bygone era, when the bond between people and their livestock was a source of pride and sustenance.
