EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1910, showcasing Saxon farm workers from illuminated manuscripts dating all the way back to the 11th century. These agricultural laborers or rustics are depicted wearing simple tunics or robes, a true reflection of their humble lifestyle. The image is an illustration taken from "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London. It beautifully captures the essence of farming and agriculture during medieval times, with various tools such as scythes, sickles, spades, forks, rakes and pitchforks scattered around these hardworking men. Located in England's countryside, these farm workers diligently engage in harvesting activities. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia and emphasizes the timeless nature of rural life. Emily Jessie Ashdown is credited as the creator behind this remarkable print. Her work offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of the importance of agriculture throughout centuries past. This print serves as a testament to our ancestors' dedication to farming and their vital role in sustaining communities. It evokes a sense of admiration for those who worked tirelessly on the land before modern advancements transformed agricultural practices.
