11 x 14" woodblock engraved view with text on reverse side. A scene of the harvest of the grapes with the Chateau Lefitte in the background . Derived from an early photo, this woodblock is true to life in the moment of 1871, but timeless in its action. Laborers, horses and carts loaded with baskets of grapes to create the famed Bordeaux wines of the region. This very location was likely bought by the current Rothschild family ownership around this time. Among the finest of french wines, often priced well above the cost of this original 150+ year old image of its creation. Fine condition an unusual and ephemeral item.
