EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a traditional English harvest scene in the late 1800s. The image, taken in Surrey near Farnham Palace in 1891, depicts a group of women carefully picking hops off the vines, their baskets brimming with the green cones. The hop fields of Surrey and Kent were once a significant part of England's agricultural landscape, and the annual hop harvest was a social event that brought communities together. The women in the photograph are dressed in their Sunday best, reflecting the importance of the occasion. The scene outside the palace grounds is idyllic, with the rolling hills and verdant foliage providing a picturesque backdrop. The hops, which would later be used to flavor beer, were a valuable commodity, and the successful harvest was cause for celebration. The Weyhill Fair, a traditional market that took place in Hampshire, was where the picked hops would be sold. The fair was an essential part of the hop-growing process, providing a platform for farmers to sell their crops and for buyers to purchase the best quality hops. The fair was also an opportunity for the local community to come together, with stalls selling food, drink, and other goods. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social and agricultural history of England during the 1890s. The scene is a reminder of the importance of community, tradition, and the natural beauty of the English countryside.
