EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph by Thomas Wade, titled "Carting turf from the moss" we are transported to the picturesque countryside of Victorian Britain. The scene depicts a humble family engaged in their daily labor amidst the breathtaking moors. A mother and father, dressed in traditional costumes, guide a donkey-drawn cart loaded with freshly cut turf across the vast expanse of moss. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this idyllic landscape to life. The rolling hills and vibrant greenery create a serene backdrop for this rustic tableau. Wade skillfully captures the essence of rural life during this era, showcasing both its simplicity and hardships. What truly stands out is the inclusion of children within this working environment. Two young boys accompany their parents on this journey, lending an air of innocence and familial unity to the composition. Their presence serves as a reminder that even in times of arduous labor, love and companionship can be found. This print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into history through artistry; it invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also recognize those who labored tirelessly within it. As we admire "Carting turf from the moss" let us reflect upon our own connection with nature and acknowledge those whose hard work sustains our communities throughout time.
