EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the hop picking season in Kent, England, circa 1906. The scene unfolds as a horse-drawn cart laden with burlap pockets filled to the brim with freshly picked hops approaches the market. The workmen and laborers, their faces etched with the hard work of the harvest, carefully load the pockets onto the cart. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat, stand patiently, awaiting their next load. The pockets bear the markings of a brewery in Leeds, suggesting the journey of these hops from the fields of Kent to the heart of Yorkshire and the production of fine beer. The traditional method of hop picking, a labor-intensive and time-honored agricultural practice, is brought to life in this image. The bountiful crop, piled high in the pockets, represents the success of the harvest and the promise of a new season of beer making. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of hop farming and the enduring connection between the English countryside and the production of beer.
