Farmers works in 1900 |
|
As the agriculture was the main activity in Brittany around 1900, it was also a famous theme for postcards, and many old postcards can be found showing farmers and miscellaneous cultivation scenes from sowing of seed to harvest. Some regions of Brittany are specialized in a special field: many postcards show the cultivation of strawberries in Plougastel Daoulas and the cultivation of artichoke is shown around Saint Pol de Leon and Roscoff |
