French Agricultural Award Plaques on Wooden Door

A weathered wooden door is covered with vintage French award plaques from agricultural fairs, livestock competitions, and regional horse breeding events. The plaques carry inscriptions such as Concours Général Agricole, Prix d'Élevage, Prix d'Honneur, and references to draft horses and rural shows in places including Saulieu and Paris. Their arranged rows create a record of rural achievement, animal husbandry, and generational farm pride. While the subject is not a biblical scene, the image offers strong visual context for themes of stewardship, labor, harvest, and honoring faithful work in the land. by John Baker
