EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional cider production in Herefordshire, England. In this picturesque orchard scene from 1822, we witness the unique method employed to harvest cider apples. Unlike their carefully picked counterparts destined for consumption, these apples are not delicately plucked from the trees. Instead, they are knocked off or allowed to fall naturally onto the fertile ground below. The process depicted here is a testament to the simplicity and authenticity of English agriculture during that era. Once collected from the earthy floor of the orchard, these fallen fruits would be pressed with great care to extract their precious juice. This liquid gold would then undergo fermentation, transforming it into one of Britain's most beloved beverages - cider. The hand-coloured engraving by Rev. Isaac Taylor beautifully portrays this age-old tradition that has been passed down through generations in Herefordshire. It offers us a glimpse into a time when nature dictated every step of cider production and commercialization was yet to take hold. As we admire this historic image, let us appreciate both its aesthetic charm and its representation of an agricultural practice deeply rooted in British culture. The sight evokes nostalgia for simpler times when apple trees stood tall against rolling green landscapes and communities celebrated their bountiful harvests with glasses raised high in cheerful toast.
