EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the lives of the children of women hop pickers in Beltring, Kent. Taken in 1939 by John Topham, it transports us back to a time when rural life was intertwined with hard work and simple pleasures. In this snapshot from the past, we see a group of young girls playing joyfully amidst the vast hop fields. Their carefree spirits are evident as they frolic among the towering hop bines, their baskets lying abandoned nearby. The innocence and resilience of these children shine through despite their challenging circumstances. The image offers a glimpse into an era when hop picking was not only an essential source of income for families but also a way to bring communities together. It symbolizes the strength and unity found within rural societies during times of hardship. As Europe stood on the brink of World War II, this photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertainty and turmoil, childhood innocence can prevail. It is a testament to both the enduring spirit of these young girls and their mothers' unwavering determination as they worked tirelessly in difficult conditions. John Topham's skillful use of monochrome adds depth to this historical document while capturing every detail with striking clarity. This timeless piece invites us to reflect upon our own connection to our roots and appreciate simpler times gone by.
