EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "August, harvesting, Leo" is an exquisite illustration from the Almanach des Bergers dating back to 1491. Created by the talented artist Pierre Le Rouge during the late 15th century, this xylograph depicts a scene that beautifully captures the essence of August. In this medieval masterpiece, we witness a harmonious blend of male and female farmers working diligently in their fields. The image showcases their unwavering dedication as they laboriously harvest crops under the radiant zodiac sign of Leo. The presence of both peasants and shepherds symbolizes the unity between agriculture and animal husbandry. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving transports us back in time to an era where farming was not only a means of survival but also a way of life. With scythes in hand, these hardworking individuals expertly reap corn while carefully gathering sheaves into bountiful piles. Their tireless efforts remind us of the importance of agricultural work and its vital role in sustaining communities. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate the significance it holds within our history. This extraordinary piece serves as a reminder that farming has always been at the heart of human existence – providing sustenance for generations past and present. Let it inspire us to honor those who have dedicated themselves to cultivating our lands throughout centuries gone by.
