EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the agricultural landscapes of 19th century Britain. Created by Dr Peter Henry Emerson, this image captures the essence of farm life during that era. In this photogravure, we see an anonymous farm worker laboring in the fields with his trusty horse. The scene portrays a ploughman engaged in the arduous task of ploughing a furrowed field. The man's determined expression reflects both his dedication to his profession and the physical exertion required for such work. His horse stands steadfastly by his side, ready to assist him in tilling the land. Dr Peter Henry Emerson's mastery as a photographer shines through in this remarkable piece of heritage art. Through careful composition and expert use of light and shadow, he brings to life the daily struggles faced by those who worked tirelessly on farmland. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this photograph serves as a testament to our agricultural roots and pays homage to those whose livelihoods depended on farming. It invites viewers into a world long gone but still deeply ingrained in our collective history. As we gaze upon "A Stiff Pull" we are reminded not only of the vital role agriculture played in shaping society but also of its enduring significance today. This powerful image transports us back to an era when hard work was synonymous with survival and offers us an opportunity to reflect on
