EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fruit gatherers, 1899" takes us back to the enchanting countryside of the 19th century. The image showcases a group of hardworking agricultural workers, predominantly women and children, engaged in the laborious task of picking strawberries and raspberries. Set against the backdrop of a rustic farmhouse, this scene captures both the toil and joy experienced by these farm hands. Despite their wet clothes caused by a passing shower, they find solace in each other's company as they take a well-deserved break from their work. A kettle boils nearby, promising them warm refreshment after their exertions. The Victorian era ambiance is further enhanced by an umbrella shielding one lady from the rain while she indulges in some delicious fruit. The monochrome effect adds depth to this snapshot of rural life during that time period. It is important to note that this image sheds light on child labor practices prevalent at that time. While it portrays innocence through young ones participating in fruit picking alongside adults, it also serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by those who worked tirelessly on farms. Preserved through an engraving published in Illustrated London News on July 22nd, 1899; this historical print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It stands as a testament to our agricultural heritage and reminds us of how far we have come since then.
