EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment in the Swiss countryside during the summer of 1936. The image showcases peasant farmers diligently haymaking at the foot of a glacier, surrounded by majestic mountains that form part of the stunning Alpine landscape. The men, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen working together on a sloping field, using their agricultural implements to gather hay. The photograph is taken from "Peoples of the World in Pictures" an extraordinary book edited by Harold Wheeler and published by Odhams Press Ltd in London. F Hutzli, the talented artist behind this masterpiece, skillfully portrays not only the physical labor involved but also highlights Switzerland's geographical features and its deep connection with farming. As we delve into this monochrome scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era where farm workers played a vital role in sustaining their communities through agriculture. This image serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resilience and dedication to cultivating their land amidst challenging terrain. Through Hutzli's lens and Wheeler's curation, this print encapsulates both artistry and documentation. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also gain insight into historical farming practices within Switzerland during the early 20th century.
