EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a scene from the late 19th century, showcasing families from the impoverished districts of London embarking on a working holiday to the Kentish hopfields. In an era marked by industrialization and urban poverty, this annual tradition provided a temporary escape for these families, allowing them to earn a living while enjoying the fresh air and countryside.
As depicted in the print, generations of family members can be seen diligently gathering hops, their faces illuminated with determination and hope. The employers often provided hutted accommodation for these families, creating a sense of community amidst the vast fields.
The image serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by working-class families during this period in history. It highlights their resilience and resourcefulness in seeking out opportunities for betterment, even if it meant traveling far from home to engage in manual labor.
Through its vibrant colors and detailed portrayal of agricultural life, this chromolithograph offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when hard work was synonymous with survival. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who sought solace and sustenance amidst challenging circumstances.
