EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the late 19th century in the Caucasus region, showcasing farm labourers ploughing with an unconventional companion - a camel. The image, created by Gillot and featured in L Boulanger's work on the people and landscapes of the Caucasus titled "Caucase, Types and Paysages" provides a fascinating glimpse into agricultural practices of that era. In this vibrant illustration, we see a group of male farm workers toiling away in a vast field. Instead of traditional horses or oxen pulling their ploughs, they have enlisted the help of camels. This unexpected choice highlights both the resourcefulness and adaptability of these farmers as they navigate their unique environment. The men are dressed in typical attire for their occupation, donning sturdy clothing suitable for manual labor under the scorching sun. Their determined expressions reveal their dedication to their job as they guide the camels through each furrowed row. The setting itself is breathtaking; located in Central Asia's Caucasus region, known for its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The lush greenery surrounding them adds depth to this snapshot from history. Through this remarkable print, Gillot transports us back to an era when agriculture was not only about hard work but also about embracing innovative methods to overcome challenges. It serves as a reminder that human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to sustaining our livelihoods amidst nature's demands.
