EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a moment in history during the 1940s, showcasing a cheerful Land Girl on her way to work. Dressed in dungarees and riding a bicycle, she exudes an air of determination and resilience as she carries her spade over one shoulder. The bell on her bike and the horn hanging from her handlebars hint at the early morning start to her day.
During World War II, Land Girls played a crucial role in supporting the war effort by working on farms and helping to maintain food production. This image is a reminder of their dedication and hard work during challenging times.
The peaceful countryside setting contrasts with the events unfolding around the world during this period, making this photo even more poignant. It serves as a tribute to all those who served in various capacities during wartime, including the brave women who took on essential roles like that of the Land Girl.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image but also a piece of history with this photograph, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the contributions of those who came before us.
