EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hop-picking" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, immersing us in a historical moment of hop cultivation. The image showcases a group of hardworking individuals engaged in the age-old tradition of hop picking. Set against the backdrop of Faversham's picturesque countryside, we see baskets filled with freshly picked hops ready for processing. In the distance, an oast drying kiln stands tall, symbolizing the importance of this industry to the region. A humble hoppers' hut provides shelter for these dedicated workers during their breaks from laborious tasks. The scene is reminiscent of Canterbury and Maidstone districts' lush gardens where hop cultivation thrived. Each picker meticulously measures and selects only the finest hops, ensuring quality production for brewing purposes. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration in The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia around 1922, offering readers valuable knowledge about this significant aspect of agricultural history. Preserved within a private collection, it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when meals were shared communally after long hours spent working outdoors. It reminds us not only of our ancestors' dedication but also highlights how food brings people together across generations.
