EDITORS COMMENTS

This photograph captures a poignant moment in English rural life during the 1930s. In Beltring, Kent, a group of determined women hop pickers are depicted amidst their laborious work in the fields. Each worker carries a gas mask over their shoulder, serving as a stark reminder of the looming threat of war. As Europe stood on the brink of World War Two, these brave women were prepared for any eventuality with their gas masks securely stored in boxes nearby. The image showcases both the resilience and vulnerability of those living on the home front during this tumultuous period. The monochrome composition adds depth to the scene, emphasizing not only the hardworking nature of these farmers but also highlighting their unity as they gather around hop bines. Amongst them are children and young girls who assist in picking hops alongside their mothers and older siblings. Photographer John Topham skillfully captures this slice of history, immortalizing an era where land girls like these played an essential role in supporting agriculture during wartime. This evocative image serves as a testament to their strength and determination amidst uncertain times.
