A fete day in Normandy after the apple harvest, 1873. '...take boat from Southampton or Newhaven to cross the Channel, and ask your neighbours in Normandy what they would like to drink! Some degenerate Normans, or rather Frenchmen, would bespeak the petit verre de cognac - nay, the more pernicious absinthe might be chosen for a passing sip at the cafe table; but we should expect that the genuine peasantry, their country's pride, would choose a cool, deep draught of their country's cider; and we hope it will do them good! There must and shall be cakes and ale in this world, or some of us will know the reason why, in spite of the annual meeting, last Tuesday, of the "United Kingdom Alliance for the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic." But we are in Normandy just now, helping to pick up the apples for cider-making...Beer, indeed, is our national beverage, and we are not ashamed to own it; yet cider has its servants and votaries in the western shires of England, as well as beyond the Channel. The scene which our Illustration brings to view is only the feast and revel after the apple-gathering m a Norman village'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
