Farm Yard, c1845 - A Glimpse into the 19th Century Agriculture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "Farm Yard" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of agriculture in the mid-19th century. Created by renowned artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, this print showcases a scene filled with vibrant colors and bustling activity. In the foreground, we see a woman adorned in traditional attire holding up her apron. It is likely that she carries food for the geese who eagerly follow her every step. This image beautifully captures the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals on a farm. The artwork belongs to an extensive collection called "Graphic Illustrations of Animals - Showing Their Utility to Man". Through his collaboration with RK Thomas, Hawkins aimed to depict various professions related to farming and highlight their significance in society. Hawkins' attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays not only the people but also their clothing and accessories. The lady's dress reflects fashion trends of that era while her apron signifies her occupation as a caretaker of these feathered creatures. This lithograph serves as both an artistic representation and metaphorical reflection on rural life during this period. It invites us to appreciate the dedication and hard work required in sustaining agricultural practices while emphasizing our interconnectedness with nature. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive, this remarkable print continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of our rich farming heritage and encouraging us to cherish our environment for generations to come.
