The Broom-Squire - A Glimpse into Rural England's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Broom-Squire" takes us on a journey back in time to the idyllic countryside of 19th-century England. Created by Frank Dadd and published in The Graphic on July 13,1895, this print offers a fascinating insight into the life of an enigmatic figure known as the broom-squire. In this scene, we witness the broom-squire himself - a man with deep knowledge of nature and its resources - standing proudly amidst lush grasslands. With his flaming red hair flowing in the wind, he waves his hand gracefully towards the surrounding landscape. His presence exudes wisdom and respect for his craft. The broom-squire was an essential part of rural communities during that era. Skilled in making traditional besoms or brooms from natural materials such as grasses and fonas, they played a vital role in maintaining cleanliness both indoors and outdoors. Through this enchanting artwork, we are transported to a simpler time when craftsmanship thrived alongside nature's abundance. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the land and how human ingenuity can transform humble materials into functional works of art. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images captures not only the beauty of Frank Dadd's artistic talent but also provides us with valuable historical context about forgotten trades that once shaped our landscapes.
