EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Carrying bracken (engraving)" by the English School in the 19th century takes us back to a time when industry and hard work were at the forefront of British culture. The image showcases a group of dedicated workers diligently carrying bundles of bracken, symbolizing their commitment to their occupation. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for H C Miall Smith's book, "The British Hive and Its Working Bees" published around 1885. It beautifully captures the essence of industrial activity during that era, highlighting one of the many types of work that contributed to Britain's thriving economy. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded not only of England's rich history but also its close ties with France and Europe as a whole. The influence of French culture is evident through references to French overseas departments and territories, showcasing how interconnected European nations were even then. With its strong focus on industry and labor, this print serves as a reminder of Britain's industrious spirit. It encapsulates both the pride Britons took in their work and their dedication towards building a prosperous nation. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this historical moment through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance behind this engraving.
