EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolitho print titled "Fruits and their enemies" showcases the intricate relationship between nature and agriculture in the late 19th or early 20th century. The artwork, created by an unknown European School artist, captures a scene of horticulture in an alpine setting. In this image, we see cherry trees flourishing amidst the majestic mountains of the Alps. However, these fruits face numerous adversaries that threaten their growth and harvest. The print highlights two significant challenges: spraying against caterpillars and combating fungal diseases. The use of chemicals such as fungicides and pesticides is depicted here as farmers diligently spray their orchards to protect the precious cherries from destructive insects like moths and other pests. This portrayal emphasizes the crucial role played by chemistry in safeguarding agricultural produce. The postcard-like composition adds a nostalgic touch to this picturesque alpine scene, evoking a sense of tranquility amidst nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder of how human intervention has long been intertwined with cultivating crops even in remote mountainous regions like Tyrol. "Fruits and their enemies" not only celebrates the resilience of fruit cultivation but also sheds light on historical practices employed to combat natural threats. This intriguing artwork offers us a glimpse into past agricultural techniques while showcasing Europe's rich cultural heritage tied to its diverse landscapes.
