EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "A Windmill Amongst the Farmhouses," Circa 1916 This etching, created circa 1916, transports us to the idyllic countryside of a bygone era. The image showcases a tall windmill, proudly erected atop a crest of a bumpy hill, its sails turning gently in the breeze. The windmill stands as a symbol of resilience and self-sufficiency, providing power to the surrounding community. Behind the windmill, a group of simple, rustic farmhouses nestle comfortably into the rolling hills. Their warm, earthy colors contrast beautifully with the crisp lines and cool tones of the windmill, creating a harmonious balance between the man-made and the natural world. The scene is reminiscent of a tranquil moment in time, captured in this etching for posterity. The image was published in a magazine, likely in the June volume, and was created by the talented hand of Prebble Rayner, an artist whose work was highly regarded during this period. This etching is part of the esteemed March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast repository of historical images that offer a glimpse into the past. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life in the early 20th century, a time when the rhythms of nature and the ingenuity of man worked in harmony to sustain community and provide for the needs of the people.
