EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cultivation of Grain in use amongst the Peasants, and the Manufacture of Barley and Oat Bread" takes us back to the enchanting world of medieval agriculture. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the customs and manners surrounding food production during the Middle Ages. The scene depicts hardworking peasants engaged in various stages of grain cultivation and bread manufacturing. Set against a picturesque backdrop of a farmhouse nestled amidst fertile fields, we witness farmers tending to their crops with meticulous care. The image showcases not only their dedication but also highlights the importance of agriculture as an industry that sustained entire communities. The woodcut style adds an air of authenticity to this Renaissance-era illustration, which was originally featured in Virgil's edition published in Lyons back in 1517. Through digital restoration techniques, we can now appreciate its intricate details more vividly. As our eyes wander through this agricultural scene, we are reminded of Lyon's rich farming heritage and its contribution to France's culinary traditions. From sowing seeds to harvesting grains and finally transforming them into loaves of barley and oat bread – each step is meticulously captured within this remarkable artwork. Join us on a journey through time as we explore the fascinating intersection between farming practices, cultural customs, and gastronomic delights from ages past.
