EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1886 showcases the process of growing tobacco in Kent, England during the late 19th century. The image depicts picked leaves hanging on frames in the field, awaiting transportation to the oast house for drying. This traditional method of cultivating tobacco highlights the meticulous care and attention to detail required in this industry.
The scene captures a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the agricultural practices of yesteryear. The lush greenery of the Kent countryside provides a picturesque backdrop to this labor-intensive process. Each leaf is carefully selected and hung with precision, showcasing the dedication of those involved in tobacco production.
The engraving exudes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when farming was more hands-on and connected to nature. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage associated with tobacco cultivation in England.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and traditions were deeply rooted in everyday life. The intricate details captured in this engraving invite us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into producing one of England's most prized commodities - tobacco.
