Reed Ricking - A Glimpse into the Industrious Life on the Norfolk Broads
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing a moment of hard work and dedication. In this scene, men are seen piling up bundles of reed into ricks, meticulously arranging them for use as thatch. The sheer scale of their task is evident as they stand atop a wide flat-bottomed boat, which serves as their vessel for transporting these precious materials. The composition exudes tranquility, with lush landscape plants surrounding the workers. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to this labor-intensive process. One can almost feel the weight of each bundle being carefully placed upon another, forming neat stacks that will eventually provide shelter for homes in England's countryside. Photographed by Peter Henry Emerson and T. F. Goodall in 1887, this image offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of those who toiled tirelessly to meet society's needs. It speaks volumes about the industrious spirit that defined Europe during this time period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection at Fine Art Storehouse, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also acknowledge the historical significance it holds within Britain's cultural heritage.
