EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 18th century, depicting grape treading in a winery as illustrated in the 1775 edition of 'Oeconomie generale de la campagne, ou Nouvelle maison rustique' by French agronomist Louis Liger. The image transports us back to a time when horticulture was essential for country dwellers, offering a glimpse into the traditional methods of wine production. In this historic moment frozen in time, we see workers carefully stomping on grapes to extract their juices for winemaking. The vineyard setting is rich with symbolism and tradition, showcasing the importance of viticulture and wine trade in European culture during that era. Louis Liger's detailed illustration not only highlights the process of grape treading but also emphasizes the connection between humans and nature. The lush grapevines and bountiful harvest serve as a reminder of our dependence on the land for sustenance and livelihood. As we admire this piece of artistry, we are reminded of the timeless practices that have shaped our culinary traditions and enriched our lives through food and drink. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of agriculture and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
