EDITORS COMMENTS

This engraving, from the Exhibition of the National Institution, depicts a scene of tranquility and contentment in an open field on the coast of Sussex. The time is midday, and the weather is fine and healthy, as indicated by the warm sunlight filtering through the clouds. The central figures of the painting are ploughboys, dressed in traditional clothing, taking a break from their laborious work.

The horses, a mix of Sussex and Suffolk breeds, are depicted with lifelike accuracy, adding to the authenticity of the scene.

This engraving captures the essence of agriculture and the hardworking farmers of the time, providing a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of rural life. The image of a haystack in the background and the man, Henry Brittan Willis, depicted in the foreground, add to the overall charm of the painting. Overall, "The Mid-Day Meal" is a beautiful representation of the agricultural way of life in 19th century Britain.
