EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and evocative image captures the essence of a traditional harvest lunch, taken in the late 19th century, around the year 1881. The scene is set in a rustic, idyllic countryside, with the golden hues of autumn leaves and the rich, earthy tones of the harvested crops surrounding the group of people gathered around a long table. At the center of the table, a steaming hot meal is being shared among the farmers and their families, who have spent long hours in the fields, reaping the rewards of their labor. The hearty dishes, made from the fruits of their labor, are piled high on the table, including roasted meats, vegetables, and bread, all accompanied by generous helpings of gravy and other savory sauces. Despite the hard work and long hours, the mood at the harvest lunch is one of camaraderie and celebration. The farmers raise their mugs of ale, toasting to the success of the harvest and the bonds of community that have sustained them throughout the year. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, play and laugh, while the women chat and prepare more food for the table. This image offers a glimpse into a simpler time, when the rhythms of the seasons and the bonds of community were the driving forces of rural life. The harvest lunch was a time to come together, to share in the fruits of their labor, and to celebrate the blessings of the harvest. It is a tradition that continues to this day, a reminder of the importance of hard work, community, and gratitude for the bounty of the earth.
