EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1937, we see McConnel Hinds diligently feeding bines into a machine. The image captures the essence of English rural life between the wars, showcasing the hard work and dedication of farmers like Hinds. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, transporting us back to a bygone era. As we observe Hinds surrounded by an orchard filled with luscious fruit, we can almost feel the weight of his responsibility as a fruit picker. The composition also highlights the sense of community that was integral to rural life during this period. A crowd gathers around Hinds, perhaps offering support or simply enjoying each other's company while working together towards a common goal. A rustic shed stands in the background, serving as a reminder of the humble surroundings these workers operated in. The presence of hops suggests that this particular farm may have been involved in brewing or cultivating crops for local breweries. This evocative print by John Topham is not just an image; it is a window into an entire era. It encapsulates both the challenges and rewards experienced by those who dedicated their lives to farming amidst Europe's changing landscape during the twentieth century.
