EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Phylloxera" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image, captured by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, is now part of a private collection. The photograph serves as an illustration for J Henry Vanstone's book "The Raw Materials of Commerce" published in 1929. It depicts Phylloxera, a notorious insect that wreaked havoc on vineyards during this period. Intriguingly detailed, the picture showcases both winged and wingless female Phylloxera insects alongside their eggs. These tiny creatures played a significant role in shaping history as they infested grapevines across Europe and North America. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of the devastating impact Phylloxera had on the wine industry at that time. Its relentless attack caused extensive damage to vineyards and led to widespread economic losses. While this image may not have any commercial use today, it holds immense historical value. It allows us to reflect on how nature can sometimes disrupt our livelihoods but also highlights humanity's resilience in finding solutions to such challenges. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can appreciate this remarkable piece of history preserved through photography.
