This photo print, titled "Pea picking in Swanscombe. 6 July 1937" offers a glimpse into the English rural life between the wars. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham in the 1930s, this monochrome image showcases a group of hardworking women engaged in pea picking on a sunny summer day. Set against the backdrop of an expansive field, these dedicated field workers can be seen diligently harvesting crops.

This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the resilience and strength of these rural women during an era marked by economic challenges. Topham's expert composition highlights both the vastness of the agricultural landscape and the individuality of each worker as they focus on their task at hand.
