EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical farming practice in Britain from 1910 - sheep dipping. The image shows a flock of sheep being carefully dipped in a solution to protect them from parasites and insects, ensuring their health and well-being.
Sheep dipping was an essential task on British farms, as it helped to safeguard the animals against harmful pests that could threaten their livelihood. Farmers would dip their entire flock in insecticide and fungicide solutions to prevent infestations and diseases, ultimately preserving the health of the sheep.
The process of sheep dipping required precision and care, as each animal had to be thoroughly coated in the protective solution. This photograph beautifully illustrates this meticulous task, showcasing the dedication and hard work of farmers in protecting their livestock.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial aspect of British agricultural history. It serves as a reminder of the importance of traditional farming practices and highlights the efforts made by farmers to ensure the well-being of their animals.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this moment with remarkable detail, allowing us to appreciate the significance of sheep dipping on British farms during this era. It is a testament to our agricultural heritage and serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to the land and its creatures.
