EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the agricultural heartland of Kortrijk, Belgium during the 1910s. The image showcases a picturesque scene of sheafs of corn (stooks) standing tall in a sun-kissed field, their golden hues a testament to the bountiful harvest. The traditional technique of stooking, where corn sheaves are stacked in pyramid-like structures to dry and protect them from the elements, is on full display. The sturdy stooks, with their distinctive curved tops, not only serve as a practical solution for preserving the grain but also add an aesthetic charm to the landscape. Agriculture has always been an integral part of Kortrijk's history, with the region being renowned for its fertile soil and rich agricultural traditions. The labor-intensive process of harvesting and gathering the sheafs of grain was a communal effort, with families and neighbors working together to ensure a successful harvest. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the simple joys of rural life. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the connection between the land, the people, and the natural cycles of agriculture. It also highlights the importance of preserving historical agricultural techniques, which continue to be relevant even in our modern world. The sheafs of corn in this image stand as a symbol of the resilience and ingenuity of farmers and the enduring allure of the countryside.
