Photografc collection

The collection of photographs of the Spanish Citrus Historical Museum showing the different processes which the oranges go through before reaching the consumers from the planting of the trees to packing, transport, publicity and the selling or its by-products.

The images are a record of the history of the Valencian citrus fruits culture: They include old ways of cultivation, the trasport of the product by horse-drawn carts and the old storehouses where the women sat on the ground classifying the oranges, the effort of men and bulls to alike to carry the boxes of oranges from the port to the anchored vessels and the marketing techniques full of typical traditionalism. At the same time they show the present situation: the most advanced methods of cultivation, the fully mechanized warehouses together with the most modern ways of transport.
