EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative reconstruction drawing, titled Ploughing J910039, by Judith Dobie of the English Heritage Graphics Team transports us back in time to the Victorian era of farming. The scene unfolds in a lush, green field, where a sturdy horse, harnessed to a traditional plough, laboriously tills the soil. The horse's powerful muscles ripple as it strains against the yoke, its eyes focused intently on the task at hand. The farmer, dressed in the typical attire of the period, stands steadfastly behind, guiding the plough with a firm hand. The arable landscape is dotted with the occasional tree, their leaves a vibrant contrast against the golden hue of the ripe crops. In the distance, a flock of sheep graze peacefully, their white fleeces standing out against the rolling hills. The idyllic rural setting is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the farmers of the time, who relied on their livestock and the land to provide for their communities. The intricate details of the drawing, from the textured fur on the horse to the individual blades of grass, bring the scene to life and offer a glimpse into the past. The graphic illustration, produced by Historic England Photo Library, serves as a poignant reminder of the rich agricultural heritage that continues to shape our countryside today.
