EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by John Topham in 1935, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into English rural life between the wars. The image showcases a breathtaking view over hop fields, with hop pickers diligently working amidst the lush greenery. In the distance, majestic oast houses stand tall against the horizon, adding an air of nostalgia to this timeless scene. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the essence of early 20th-century Europeana photography. It transports us back to a simpler time when hardworking individuals dedicated their days to harvesting hops for brewing purposes. Amongst them are workers of all ages - men and women alike - who tirelessly pick each delicate bud with care and precision. What truly adds charm to this photograph are the children scattered throughout the fields, eagerly lending their small hands to help with this laborious task. Their youthful innocence juxtaposed against the backdrop of manual work serves as a poignant reminder of how different childhood was during those years. John Topham's masterful lens effortlessly immortalizes this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also gain insight into an era long gone. This evocative image is more than just a visual delight; it encapsulates an entire way of life that has shaped generations and continues to be cherished today.
