EDITORS COMMENTS
Raking Hay, 1920, by Susan Beatrice Pearse, Little Helpers series, Humphrey Milford, Postcards for the Little Ones. This charming black-and-white photograph captures a moment of innocent childhood joy and collaboration as two young children engage in the age-old activity of raking hay. The scene is set in a lush, green countryside, with the golden hay bales in the background, and the sun casting long, warm shadows on the ground. The children, dressed in simple, turn-of-the-century clothing, are fully immersed in their task, their faces expressing determination and delight. The older child, with a serious expression, expertly guides the rake, while the younger one, with a grin on their face, gathers the hay into neat piles. This image is a beautiful representation of the simple pleasures of rural life and the bond between siblings or friends in the early 20th century. Susan Beatrice Pearse, a talented British artist, captured this moment in her Little Helpers series for Humphrey Milford's Postcards for the Little Ones. Pearse's work, which focused on children at play, was widely popular during this time, and her images were often used as educational tools and keepsakes. This particular print, with its timeless appeal and nostalgic charm, continues to evoke feelings of warmth and nostalgia for a simpler time in history.
