EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grape harvest of 1854 in Medoc, a region renowned for its wine production in Bordeaux, France. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this rural scene, showcasing the hard work and dedication that went into harvesting grapes during that era. In this image, we see men and women laboring diligently amidst rows upon rows of vineyards. The workers are dressed in traditional attire as they meticulously pick ripe grapes from the vines. Some carry baskets filled with their precious harvest while others load wooden carts pulled by sturdy oxen. The picturesque landscape surrounding them adds to the charm of this vintage scene. Rolling hills stretch out towards the horizon, creating a serene backdrop for these arduous tasks. It is evident that every aspect of this process was carefully orchestrated to ensure a successful grape harvest. This wood engraving not only provides us with a glimpse into French viticulture history but also serves as a reminder of how much effort goes into producing one of France's most famous exports - wine. It is an ode to those who have dedicated their lives to perfecting the artistry behind winemaking. As we admire this timeless piece from The Granger Collection, let us appreciate both the beauty captured within it and the rich cultural heritage it represents.
