Returning Home from Ploughing - A Glimpse into the Rural Life of the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Returning Home from Ploughing" offers us a poignant glimpse into the agricultural world of the 19th century. Created by Jules Veyrassat in 1873, this print captures a scene that speaks volumes about hard work and perseverance. In this artwork, we witness a group of farmers making their way back home after a long day's ploughing. The tired but determined expressions on their faces reveal the physical toll that working the land has taken on them. Their loyal working animals, harnessed to sturdy ploughs, trudge alongside them as faithful companions. The artist skillfully portrays both human and animal figures with great attention to detail. From the worn-out clothes of the farmers to every muscle strain visible on their horses' bodies, Veyrassat's meticulousness brings life and authenticity to this rural tableau. As we contemplate this engraving today, it reminds us of an era when agriculture was at its core—a time when communities relied heavily on farming for sustenance and survival. It prompts reflection on how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in agriculture since then. "Returning Home from Ploughing" is not just a beautiful piece of art; it serves as a historical document that allows us to appreciate our roots and acknowledge those who dedicated themselves to cultivating our lands. It invites us to honor
