EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by French photographer Leonard de Selva in the late 19th century, transports us back to a farm near Bourmont in Haute-Marne, France. The image showcases a group of hardworking agricultural workers with their essential tools and equipment. In the foreground, we see two men holding what appears to be fake rateau-ertriers (rake ertriers), an innovative tool used for gathering hay or straw. Their sturdy frames and weathered faces speak volumes about their dedication to their laborious work. Behind them stands a woman, her face worn but determined as she holds a sickle - symbolizing her role in harvesting crops. The composition also includes other elements that add depth and context to the scene. A braid basket lies on the ground nearby, ready for collecting harvested produce. In the background, we catch glimpses of rustic buildings that blend harmoniously with the rural landscape. De Selva's masterful use of light and shadow enhances every detail captured within this photograph. It serves as both a testament to these individuals' resilience and an ode to the timeless beauty found in agricultural life. Preserved within private collections today, this extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into history – reminding us of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to sustain our communities through farming practices long ago.
