EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Speed the Plough!" captures a humorous agricultural scene. The illustration was created by an English School artist for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1839. It depicts a ploughman energetically driving his plow through a field, emphasizing the rapidity of his work. The comical nature of this artwork is evident in the exaggerated movements and expressions of both the ploughman and his horses. The engraver skillfully captures their dynamic interactions, adding to the overall humor of the scene. With its detailed lines and intricate shading, this print showcases the talent and craftsmanship of 19th-century illustrators. Despite being rendered solely in black and white, it manages to convey depth and movement effectively.

It serves as a reminder of how crucial agriculture was to society at that time. This piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection is a testament to both artistic skill and comedic storytelling.
