1788 Barrel Carries Farmer Gentleman Harvest Labourer Seat Surrey Thurlow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from 18th century Britain at Knights Hill in Surrey, the seat of Lord Thurlow. In the image, a gentleman farmer is seen riding on his horse while a farm labourer carries a harvest barrel. The rural setting and historical context provide a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time. The contrast between the well-dressed gentleman on horseback and the working-class labourer carrying out manual labor speaks to the hierarchical structure of society during this period. The presence of Lord Thurlow's estate in the background further emphasizes the wealth and power held by aristocrats like him. The attention to detail in this print, from the clothing worn by each figure to the lush greenery surrounding them, transports viewers back to 1788 when this scene would have been commonplace in rural England. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity of British history. Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its significance in understanding our past. This print is sure to spark curiosity and conversation about life in 18th century Britain.
