EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Agriculture, for Manure" offers a glimpse into the laborious world of 19th-century farming. Created by the talented artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, this piece is part of his larger series called Graphic Illustrations of Animals - Showing Their Utility to Man. In this particular scene, we witness a man diligently pulling manure from a cart using a rake. The vibrant colors bring life to the image as we see a majestic shire horse standing patiently on the right side. It is evident that road transport was essential in distributing fertilizers such as cow and horse excrement during this era. Hawkins skillfully captures the essence of agriculture and its vital role in sustaining human life. This print serves as an ode to those who dedicated their lives to tending the land and nourishing crops through manual labor. The profession depicted here showcases not only hard work but also an understanding of nature's cycles and how they can be harnessed for agricultural productivity. As we admire this lithograph, it reminds us of our ancestors' commitment to cultivating the earth and highlights how transportation played a crucial role in supporting their efforts. Through Hawkins' artistry, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by those involved in farming occupations during the 19th century.
