EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of agricultural machinery in the early 19th century. The subject, Mr Chris Lambert, a steam haulage contractor from Horsmonden, Kent, is seen standing proudly next to his impressive steam ploughing setup. With spoked wheels and a drum boiler water tank, these road locomotives were the backbone of farming tools during the industrial revolution. The image showcases two traction engines working harmoniously to haul a plough across the vast expanse of land. This innovative method revolutionized farming practices at that time. It's fascinating to witness how technology was harnessed to increase efficiency and productivity on rural farms. The photograph transports us back to June 9th, 1949 - an era when such equipment was still prevalent in agriculture. The crates stacked in the background hint at a bustling warehouse or farm building nearby. The rustic charm of this rural farmyard setting adds authenticity and nostalgia to the scene. John Topham's skillful composition beautifully encapsulates both the historical significance and practicality of these early tractors used for hauling implements like ploughs. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of progress in shaping our environment for better cultivation methods. Displayed in a museum or any space dedicated to preserving agricultural heritage, this image would undoubtedly captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of bygone farming techniques intertwined with technological advancements from yesteryears
