"Humulus Lupulus: A Journey Through Time and Landscapes" Step into the world of Humulus lupulus, commonly known as the common hop or hop. This captivating plant has been a subject of fascination for centuries, as depicted in Anne Pratt's c1891 engraving illustration. Its intricate details are brought to life through this antique artwork. In 1891, a chromolithograph showcased various plants from the Cannabaceae and Linaceae families, including Humulus lupulus. The delicate beauty of these botanical wonders was captured with precision and elegance. The allure extends beyond illustrations; it thrives in nature too. In 1887, hand-colored wood engravings celebrated deciduous trees, rosids, and magnoliids - among them stood the remarkable hop vine. Traveling through time brings us to 1939 when Dorothea Lange documented scenes from Yakima Valley in Washington and Independence in Oregon. She captured moments on M. Rivard's French-Canadian ranches where hop yards stretched far and wide. From pickers harvesting hops to farmers' sons washing up before their noon meal on a back porch – Lange's lens immortalized their hard work. Lange also revealed breathtaking landscapes surrounding humulus lupulus cultivation: alfalfa fields bathed in late afternoon light and paymasters' windows bustling with workers near Grants Pass. Humulus lupulus has left an indelible mark on history – not just as an ingredient for brewing beer but also as a symbol of resilience and dedication found within those who tend to its growth. These glimpses into its past remind us that even amidst changing times, some traditions endure while new stories unfold around them.
