EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the centenary celebration of Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, the man who introduced the humble potato to France. In this image, we see Parmentier himself depicted in an inset portrait, alongside a scene of him diligently digging up potatoes in 1813.
Born in 1737, Parmentier's legacy as a pioneer of French cuisine cannot be overstated. His efforts to promote the potato as a staple food source were met with skepticism at first, but his persistence eventually paid off when he successfully convinced the French people of its nutritional value and versatility.
As we commemorate this historical figure on his centenary, it is important to reflect on how his contributions have shaped our culinary traditions and dietary habits. The sight of Parmentier hard at work in the fields serves as a reminder of his dedication and passion for promoting this now beloved vegetable.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library not only captures a momentous occasion but also pays tribute to a man whose impact on French history continues to be felt today. Let us raise a toast (or perhaps some crispy fries) to Antoine-Augustin Parmentier - the man who brought potatoes into our lives.
