EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from c.1910 captures a moment in history when the turtle was considered a delicacy in French cuisine. The image is part of "Histoire anecdotique de l'alimentation," showcasing the cultural significance of food and beverage during that time period.
In the photograph, two individuals are shown hunting for turtles along the coastline of France. The vibrant colors bring to life the coastal scenery as they search for this prized reptile to be used as a meal. The men appear focused and determined, highlighting the importance of this hunt for sustenance.
