EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in Essex, England during the 1930s autumn ploughing season. The image shows a weary ploughman, taking a well-deserved break from his laborious work. With the sun casting long shadows across the rolling hills, the farmer sits atop a bale of hay, his trusty horse grazing contentedly nearby. The ploughman's lunch, a traditional British meal, is spread out before him. A hearty selection of local produce, including a crusty loaf, ripe cheeses, pickled onions, and a crisp apple, provides the necessary sustenance to fuel the remainder of his day. The simple yet satisfying spread reflects the self-sufficient nature of rural communities during this era. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and hard work, as the ploughman enjoys a moment of respite amidst the beauty of the harvest season. The rustic surroundings, combined with the timeless activities of farming and horse-rearing, offer a glimpse into a bygone era. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a way of life that continues to shape the British countryside.
