EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Agricultural, c 1845" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of farming and transportation during that era. The artist behind this masterpiece is Robert Kent Thomas, who skillfully captures the essence of rural life in his work. In this scene, we see a farmer lying on top of a haywagon being led by two strong oxen. The vibrant colors bring out the beauty of nature surrounding them as they make their way along a dusty road. This image was originally featured in "Graphic Illustrations of Animals - Showing Their Utility to Man" an enlightening publication illustrated by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and RK Thomas. The photograph portrays not only the importance of animals in agriculture but also highlights the hard work and dedication required for such an occupation. The farmer's momentary rest atop the haywagon signifies both respite from laborious tasks and appreciation for nature's bounty. As we admire this historical piece from Oxford Science Archive, we are reminded of how crucial animal-powered transportation was in shaping our society at that time. It serves as a reminder that progress often stems from humble beginnings rooted in traditional practices like these. With its rich history and artistic brilliance, this print by Robert Kent Thomas offers us a window into an era long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and documentation.
