Peat Mining, 1869 - A Glimpse into the Laborious Life of Victorian Peat Harvesters
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a remarkable oil painting by Thomas Wade, titled "Peat Mining, 1869". Measuring 90x70 cm and now held in a private collection, this piece offers us an intriguing window into the world of peat mining during the Victorian era. In this scene, we witness a group of hardworking laborers toiling away on a desolate moorland. With their bare feet sinking into the boggy terrain, both men and women are depicted engaging in the arduous task of gathering peat. The landscape itself exudes an aura of ruggedness and isolation. The painting showcases the physicality required for such work as these dedicated workers dig deep into the earth to extract this valuable fuel source. Despite facing immense challenges and enduring harsh conditions, they persist with unwavering determination. Notably present is a dog faithfully accompanying its human companions throughout their daily grind. It serves as a reminder that even amidst backbreaking labor, moments of camaraderie can be found. Wade's masterful brushstrokes expertly capture every detail - from each worker's weathered face to their worn-out clothing. This evocative portrayal transports us back in time to witness firsthand how peat miners contributed to England's industrial development. Through this extraordinary artwork preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we gain insight into
