EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by John Topham in East Peckham on 1 September 1938, offers a glimpse into the English rural life of the early twentieth century. The image showcases a group of hardworking hop pickers laboring in the fields during the annual harvest season. The scene depicts men, women, and children diligently picking hops from towering hop bines that stretch as far as the eye can see. Their weathered faces tell stories of years spent toiling under the sun, their hands expertly plucking each delicate cone with care. Among them stands an old man, his age evident in every wrinkle etched upon his face. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of history between the wars. It transports us back to a simpler time when agriculture was at the heart of European countryside living. The baskets filled with freshly picked hops serve as tangible evidence of their tireless efforts. John Topham's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the beauty and hardships associated with rural life during this era. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring joy and flavor to our pints for generations past
