EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cultivation of grain by hardworking peasants and the skillful manufacture of barley and oat bread in the 19th century. Reproduced from a woodcut found in an edition of Virgil published at Lyons in 1517, this horizontal image takes us back to a time when medieval occupations were essential for daily survival. In this historical snapshot, we witness a man tending to his fields with dedication and expertise, embodying the spirit of independence that comes with working the land. The meticulous craftsmanship involved in turning harvested grain into nourishing loaves is depicted through scenes of baking in traditional ovens. The black and white illustrations transport us to an era where trade was conducted on a smaller scale, emphasizing individual livelihoods rather than large-scale commerce. Women are also seen contributing to this vocation, highlighting their important role within farming communities. These engravings serve as valuable glimpses into centuries past, reminding us of our connection to those who came before us. They offer insight into not only agricultural practices but also social structures and cultural traditions prevalent during the Middle Ages. Ken Welsh's reproduction captures both the beauty and significance of these woodcuts, preserving them for generations to come. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance throughout history while honoring the timeless craft behind cultivating grains and baking bread.
