HAYMAKING, 17th CENTURY. Love among the haystacks
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting woodcut print from the Roxburghe Ballad captures a tender moment in the English countryside during the 17th century. The scene depicts a couple amidst their daily haymaking routine, surrounded by lush fields and bathed in warm sunlight. The image showcases not only the laborious task of cultivating crops but also highlights love's presence even in mundane activities. The farmer and his lover are depicted side by side, working diligently with their equipment - rakes and harvest tools - to gather hay into large stacks or haystacks. The simplicity of rural life is beautifully illustrated through this woodcut, as it portrays an idyllic setting where nature meets romance. The sunface shining down on them symbolizes hope and prosperity for their hard work. This artwork offers us a glimpse into early literature and rural existence, reminding us of simpler times when farming was at the heart of England's daily life. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for a time when manual labor connected people to both each other and the land they worked on. As we admire this historical piece from The Granger Collection, let us appreciate its depiction of love intertwined with everyday tasks – a timeless reminder that affection can blossom anywhere, even among haystacks in centuries past.
