EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the year 1856, showcases the dedication and hard work of an agricultural laborer named Advert, as he digs deep into the rich, fertile soil with a set of Parkes steel digging forks and draining tools. The scene, captured in black and white, transports us back to the 1850s and the heart of the Victorian era. Advert, with his muscular arms and focused expression, expertly wields the Parkes steel digging fork, its sturdy tines sinking deep into the earth with ease. The forks, manufactured by the renowned company Parkes, were a popular choice among farmers and gardeners of the time due to their exceptional strength and durability. In the background, a stack of Parkes steel draining tools can be seen, ready to be used for the crucial task of drainage. The tools, with their distinctive design and robust construction, were essential for maintaining healthy soil conditions and ensuring optimal crop growth. The photograph, originally published in an agricultural or gardening journal of the time, such as The Gardeners' Chronicle or The Agricultural Gazette, serves as a testament to the importance of these tools in the daily lives of farmers and gardeners during the Victorian era. This image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and the dedication and hard work required to cultivate the land and provide for the growing populations of the time. The Parkes steel digging forks and draining tools, represented by this photograph, played a crucial role in the agricultural revolution of the 19th century and continue to be cherished by gardeners and farmers today.
