EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 1880s captures a tense moment in agricultural history, as a farmer's wife bravely releases a bull to defend her farm against attacking agricultural workers. The scene reflects the widespread fear and unrest among workers during this time, as they protested against developments such as threshing machines that threatened to depress wages and eliminate jobs.
The image is a powerful reminder of the industrial revolution era in England, when riots and machine wrecking were common forms of protest by workers who felt their livelihoods were at stake. The woman's act of letting out the bull symbolizes both her determination to protect her family's farm and the escalating tensions between laborers and landowners.
As smoke billows in the background from rick burning, we are transported back to a time of social upheaval and resistance known as the Luddite movement. This print serves as a visual record of a turbulent period in British history, capturing the bravery and defiance of those who fought against economic changes that threatened their way of life.
Overall, this historical artwork offers us a glimpse into the challenges faced by farmers and workers alike during this transformative period in agriculture.
