In this print, we are transported back to the English countryside in 1947. The image showcases a remarkable man named Fred Goldup, aged 72, diligently cutting corn with a scythe. This snapshot of rural life captures the essence of hard work and dedication that defined the agricultural industry during this era. Fred's weathered face tells a story of years spent toiling on the land, his hands expertly maneuvering the homemade bender and scythe. With each swing of his tool, he paves the way for progress as he prepares a field of wheat for harvesting. The photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when manual labor was at its peak in farming communities across England. It serves as a testament to both Fred's resilience and the importance placed on self-sufficiency during these times.
