EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colour lithograph captures the essence of a bygone era. Titled "The Miller, from Four and Twenty Toilers" this print, published in 1900, is a visual masterpiece accompanied by verse written by E. V. Lucas. The image showcases an Edwardian family's daily life intertwined with the trade of milling. The central figure, the miller himself, stands proudly beside his horse-drawn cart filled with sacks of grain. Dressed in traditional leather gaiters and donning a hat that speaks to his profession, he exudes strength and determination. Behind him looms a majestic windmill with its sails gracefully turning in the breeze. This iconic symbol of industry serves as a reminder of the hard work undertaken by these labourers to provide for their families. Intriguingly, nestled within this scene is an adorable pet - perhaps offering companionship during long hours at work or simply adding warmth to this snapshot of everyday life. Francis Donkin Bedford's artistic talent shines through in every brushstroke; his attention to detail transports us back to Victorian times when manual labour was both arduous and essential for survival. As we gaze upon this historical gem from the Historica Graphica Collection, we are reminded not only of our ancestors' dedication but also how far society has progressed since then. Let us cherish their legacy while appreciating our modern comforts made possible through their unwavering commitment to hard work and trade.
