EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at a farm near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England, during the 1930s. In the image, men are seen diligently threshing wheat using a Surrells patent compound steam traction engine mounted on springs. The scene is filled with nostalgia and showcases the manual labor that was required for farming in this era.
The flat landscape of Oxfordshire provides the backdrop for this historical snapshot of British agriculture. Stacks of hay can be seen nearby as the men work tirelessly to separate the wheat from its stalks. The innovative technology of the Surrells patent compound steam traction engine revolutionized farming practices during this time period.
The image not only highlights the hard work and dedication of these farmers but also serves as a reminder of England's rich agricultural history. The men in caps are focused on their task at hand, showcasing their expertise in operating this machinery.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to step back into an era where manual labor and innovative technology coexisted harmoniously on British farms. This print is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who worked tirelessly to feed their communities.
