Légende
Agriculture in the Dora Valley, Mont Cenis Railway, 1871. 'View of the romantic scenery in the valley of the Dora Riparia, at Susa [in Italy]...The primitive habits of the rustic people in these picturesque recesses of the mountains on the Piedmontese side are exemplified by the rude ox-plough which is still used in their fields. The plough is drawn by a horse and a cow yoked together...The peasantry of this Alpine region are not scientific agriculturists, but they are a sturdy, shrewd, and diligent race; and many of them emigrate,...learning some ingenious handicraft or trade, with the profits of which they may, in some cases, return to a life of leisure in their old age'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
