EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a close-up of two majestic oxen diligently pulling a plough in a Shaker village located in Hancock, Massachusetts. The image transports us to a bygone era where traditional farming methods still thrive amidst the picturesque landscapes of New England, USA. In this idyllic scene, the oxen's immense strength and unwavering determination are on full display as they work harmoniously with their human counterparts. The plough cuts through the fertile soil, leaving behind neat furrows that promise bountiful harvests to come. The Shakers, known for their commitment to simplicity and communal living, have preserved these time-honored agricultural practices that have been passed down through generations. Their dedication to preserving tradition is evident in every aspect of this photograph - from the rustic charm of the village buildings to the meticulously maintained farm lands. Fraser Hall/Robert Harding's masterful photography skillfully captures both the beauty and significance of this moment. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate every detail - from the sweat glistening on the oxen's muscular bodies to the vibrant colors of nature surrounding them. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of our rich agricultural heritage but also of humanity's deep connection with nature and its ability to sustain us. It serves as an inspiring reminder that even in our contemporary world, there is wisdom and value in embracing traditional methods that have stood the test of time.
