EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colour lithograph, titled "The Farmer" is a captivating snapshot of rural life in the early 20th century. Published in 1900 as part of the book "Four and Twenty Toilers" it perfectly captures the essence of agricultural work during that era. In this scene, we see a hardworking farmer on horseback, surrounded by various elements that symbolize his trade. Dressed in traditional leather gaiters and holding a riding crop, he exudes authority and expertise. The presence of a donkey pulling a cart loaded with hay showcases the importance of animal labor in farming practices at the time. The artist, Francis Donkin Bedford (1864-1954), pays meticulous attention to detail by including hens pecking around haystacks, geese waddling nearby, and even a turkey strutting proudly across the field. These animals not only provide an authentic touch but also hint at their significance for sustenance on the farm. E. V. Lucas's accompanying verse adds depth to this visual narrative by emphasizing the tireless toil endured by these workers day after day. It serves as a reminder of their dedication and resilience amidst challenging conditions. As we admire this historic print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, let us appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to transport us back to an era when agriculture was truly at the heart of society's survival.
