EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century copperplate engraving captures the timeless agricultural traditions of ploughing with oxen, sowing seed broadcast, and harrowing. In the background, skilled craftsmen can be seen making agricultural tools from wood, showcasing the importance of craftsmanship in farming practices.
The scene depicted in this print is reminiscent of ancient Roman times, as it follows the agricultural traditions set down by Virgil in his "Georgics." The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time when farming was done with manual labor and handcrafted tools.
The black-and-white aesthetic adds to the vintage feel of the engraving, transporting viewers back to a bygone era when agriculture was at the heart of society. The power and grace of the oxen as they plow through the fields are beautifully captured, highlighting their crucial role in cultivating crops.
This print serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and our reliance on traditional farming methods. It celebrates the enduring legacy of ancient agricultural practices that continue to shape modern-day farming techniques. As we admire this piece of art, we are reminded of the hard work and dedication that goes into producing food for generations to come.
