EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Maidstone, captured around 1910, offers a glimpse into the bustling agricultural hub that it once was. Known as one of the centers for hop-growing districts in England, this vibrant town thrived on its paper production, agricultural implements, brick and cement works. With a population of approximately 37,210 people at the time, Maidstone buzzed with activity and industry. The image is part of a card from a game showcasing views of chief towns in each county across England. The game beautifully printed these scenes in vivid colors to highlight their unique products and notable buildings. This particular view showcases Maidstone's rich landscape adorned with hop poles stretching towards the sky. Intriguingly, we see hop pickers dotting the fields as they diligently harvest common hops (Humulus lupulus). These hardworking individuals played an essential role in Kent's thriving hop industry during this era. Their occupation not only contributed to the local economy but also added charm to Maidstone's picturesque countryside. Preserved by The Print Collector and originating from John Jaques & Son Ltd. , London - renowned publishers during that time - this historic print captures both nature's beauty and human endeavor. It serves as a valuable reminder of how agriculture shaped communities like Maidstone throughout history.
