EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of hops picking in Alsace and Lorraine during the late 19th century. The engraving, created by Frederic Theodore Lix, beautifully illustrates a scene from Charles Grad's story "A Through Alsace and Lorraine" featured in the renowned publication "Tour du Monde" directed by Edouard Charton. In this image, we witness the laborious yet fulfilling work of French farmers as they meticulously pick hops in vast fields. A woman can be seen diligently at work, her hands skillfully plucking the delicate flowers that will later contribute to the production of beer. Alongside her is a young child who has joined in on this agricultural endeavor, highlighting how even children were involved in supporting their families' livelihoods. The engraving not only showcases the physicality of hop picking but also alludes to its cultural significance. Hops are an essential ingredient used for brewing beer - a beloved beverage deeply rooted in French traditions and social gatherings. Leonard de Selva's photograph expertly preserves this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind Lix's engraving and gain insight into an important aspect of France's agricultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when hard work intertwined with culture and community spirit prevailed throughout Alsace and Lorraine.
