EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of World War I, the unchanging English countryside continued to provide vital food supplies for the nation. This evocative triptych of rural silhouettes, captured in August 1914, offers an idealised and nostalgic view of morning, afternoon, and evening activities in the heart of the agricultural landscape. In the first panel, the gentle glow of dawn breaks over the rolling hills, as a farmer tends to his cattle, guiding them to graze in the dew-kissed pastures. The second panel reveals the tranquil afternoon scene, where a shepherd carefully tends to his flock, watching over them as they graze peacefully in the sunlit meadow. The final panel unveils the serene evening, as a farmer harvests the ripe crops under the watchful gaze of the moon. These images, filled with the romance and timeless beauty of the English countryside, serve as a poignant reminder of the daily work and dedication required to keep the nation fed during wartime. The silhouettes of the farmhands, their labours etched against the backdrop of the land, stand as testament to the resilience and fortitude of the rural community during this pivotal moment in history.
