Shelling Beans, Argentelle, 1851 - A Glimpse into Rural Life and the Plight of Workers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, "Shelling Beans, Argentelle, 1851" captured by Baron Louis-Adolphe Humbert De Molard, offers a poignant insight into the realities of rural life in 19th century France. The image portrays a scene where both men and women toil together in shelling beans under the watchful eye of a young child. The composition evokes a sense of simplicity and rustic charm as workers are seen wearing traditional clothing while engaged in their laborious task. The worn clogs on their feet speak volumes about their hardworking nature and resilience. Located in Normandy's picturesque countryside, this snapshot beautifully encapsulates regionalism at its core. However, beneath the surface lies an underlying social issue - child labor. The presence of the young boy perched atop a ladder suggests that even children were not exempt from contributing to household income during those times. This thought-provoking element invites us to reflect upon societal norms prevalent during that era. Baron Louis-Adolphe Humbert De Molard's salted paper print from paper negative showcases his exceptional talent for capturing raw emotions within everyday scenes. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in history through his lens.
