EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and amusing engraving, titled "Ploughing, 51 BC" takes us back to ancient times with a comical twist. Created by the American School in the 19th century, this print captures a scene from Bill Nyes History of England (Lippincott, 1896). The illustration showcases two individuals engaged in ploughing, depicting a primitive agricultural scene in Germany during that era. The artists behind this artwork, W M Goodes and A M Richards, have added their own touch of humor to the historical context. With exaggerated expressions and gestures, they bring out the funny side of this otherwise mundane task. It's fascinating how even back then people found ways to inject laughter into their daily lives. This engraving not only highlights the history of agriculture but also offers insights into German culture at that time. It portrays an agricultural practice common in northern Germany and sheds light on the Germanic way of life during that period. Digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, this image invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and its comedic elements. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but chuckle at how our ancestors approached farming with such lightheartedness. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection published by Fine Art Finder under Look and Learn copyright protection (not for commercial use), we are reminded that humor has always been an integral part of human existence - even as far back as 51 BC!
