EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "God speed the plough" captures a powerful moment in history during World War I. The image showcases the National Service Women's Land Army, highlighting their crucial role in driving agricultural progress and supporting the war effort. Against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunrise or sunset, women are seen hitching horses to a plow, ready to cultivate the fields. The poster-like quality of this photograph emphasizes its significance as a recruitment tool for women to join the land army. It symbolizes resilience, determination, and unity as these brave women work together with nature and animals to ensure food production during challenging times. The artist, Henry George Gawthorn, masterfully uses color lithography to bring vibrancy and life into this scene. The furrowed fields stretch out before us while birds soar above them—a testament to nature's harmony amidst human endeavor. This image serves as an enduring reminder of the sacrifices made by countless women who stepped up when their country needed them most. Their unwavering commitment to service shines through each detail captured by Gawthorn's lens. As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time, let us pay tribute not only to these remarkable women but also recognize their invaluable contributions that helped shape our world today.
