EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the late 1890s orange harvest season in Riverside, California, USA. The image shows a group of workers, dressed in hats and long-sleeved shirts, carefully picking ripe navel oranges from the lush trees in an orchard. The trees, heavy with fruit, stretch up towards the clear blue sky, their branches reaching out over the wooden ladder that supports the pickers. The workers are positioned among the trees, their baskets and crates at their feet, ready to fill with the juicy, sun-kissed oranges. The crates, labeled "Riverside Navel Orange Company," are stacked nearby, waiting to be filled. The scene is idyllic, with the workers seemingly at one with nature as they go about their manual labor. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when agriculture was a significant part of the American economy and the workforce was made up of manual laborers. The image is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the workers who played a crucial role in bringing the delicious and nutritious fruits from the trees to the tables of consumers across the country. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich agricultural history of California, particularly in the Riverside area, which was known for its thriving orange groves. The image is a beautiful representation of the past, capturing the spirit of the era and the beauty of the natural world.
