EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The hunt for grasshoppers in Sardinia, eighty million insects destroyed in two weeks" captures a remarkable moment in history. The image depicts a scene from the government nursery of Elmas, where an army of farmers and peasants united to combat a devastating swarm of locusts that threatened their crops. In this vivid illustration by Achille Beltrame, we witness men, women, and children working tirelessly together to catch these destructive insects. Clad in traditional Sardinian clothing, they wield sticks and branches as tools against nature's onslaught. Their determination is palpable as they strive to protect their fields and preserve their way of life. The sheer scale of the challenge is staggering - eighty million grasshoppers eradicated within just two weeks. This incredible feat showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of the Sardinian people who rely on agriculture for survival. Beyond its historical significance lies a deeper narrative about humanity's constant struggle with nature.
