EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Alfieri on 5 November 1922, transports us back to the cider-making industry in Devonshire during the early twentieth century. The image showcases an old-fashioned hand press used in the production of this beloved beverage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a worker diligently operating the press with expertise and precision. His weathered hands tell tales of years spent perfecting his craft, as he squeezes every last drop of juice from the freshly harvested apples. The scene exudes a sense of tradition and hard work that defined this era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has advanced since then, highlighting the manual labor required for such processes before automation took over. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era between two world wars when communities relied on local industries like cider making for sustenance and economic stability. This photograph is not just about cider; it encapsulates an entire way of life that was prevalent during those times. Alfieri's skillful composition captures both the physicality involved in cider making and the spirit of resilience exhibited by workers who dedicated their lives to their trade. It stands as a testament to their contribution towards shaping our cultural heritage. Through Europeana Photography's collection, this remarkable piece provides us with a glimpse into history - reminding us to appreciate both progress and tradition alike
