EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Paying rent in Saxon times" takes us back to a bygone era. Created by the talented artist Ernest Prater around 1920, this illustration was featured in Walter Hutchinson's renowned book, Story of the British Nation. The image portrays a scene from England during the Saxon period, showcasing a male peasant diligently paying his rent. The man stands before an imposing figure who represents his landlord or lord. With a basket in hand, he symbolizes the struggle and poverty faced by ordinary people at that time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this powerful depiction of life in rural Britain centuries ago. Through this artwork, Prater skillfully captures not only the physical appearance but also the emotions and hardships experienced by peasants during those challenging times. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, we are transported to another world - one where survival depended on hard work and resilience. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' struggles and their determination to make ends meet amidst adversity. Ernest Prater's artistic prowess combined with Walter Hutchinson's storytelling creates an evocative piece that invites us to reflect on history while appreciating how far society has come since then.
