EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Fontainebleau Forest in all its natural beauty. Titled "Pulling the Heather" this 1890 print by Auguste Louis Lepere showcases a serene scene within the forest. The image depicts two figures, presumably workers, engaged in the task of pulling heather from the ground. The composition is strikingly simple yet evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The dense foliage surrounding the figures creates a lush backdrop, while their stooped postures suggest dedication to their laborious work. It is as if time stands still in this moment captured by Lepere's lens. Published in Revue Illustree between 1887 and 1890, this wood engraving is part of a bound volume containing 34 similar prints. With an image size measuring just over three inches by four inches, it exemplifies Lepere's ability to convey intricate details through his masterful technique. Auguste Louis Lepere was a renowned French artist who specialized in printmaking during the late 19th century. His works often depicted rural landscapes and scenes from everyday life, showcasing his deep appreciation for nature and human connection with it. This particular print offers viewers a glimpse into both the artistic prowess of Lepere and the enchanting allure of Fontainebleau Forest itself. It serves as a timeless reminder of our intrinsic bond with nature and invites us to appreciate its wonders even amidst our daily routines.
