EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 18th century edition of Virgil Georgics takes us back in time to witness the age-old agricultural traditions set down by the Roman poet himself. In this scene, we are transported to a rustic countryside where ploughing with oxen is being carried out with utmost precision and care. The power of these majestic animals is harnessed as they diligently till the fertile soil, preparing it for sowing. As our gaze extends beyond the ploughed fields, we catch a glimpse of skilled craftsmen crafting agricultural tools from wood. Their hands deftly shape and carve each piece, ensuring that farmers have reliable implements for their daily tasks. This background activity serves as a reminder of the importance placed on craftsmanship and innovation in an era when technology was limited. The essence of agriculture permeates every aspect of this image - from the diligent husbandry practices employed during ploughing and sowing seed broadcast to the meticulous harrowing that follows. It showcases not only the timeless nature of farming but also highlights how knowledge passed down through generations can shape entire civilizations. This copperplate engraving encapsulates an era when cereals were cultivated using traditional methods rooted in ancient wisdom. It offers us a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and significance behind these centuries-old agricultural traditions captured within its frame.
