EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by John Topham in 1938, transports us back to the English countryside of East Peckham. The image showcases a heartwarming scene of hop pickers laboring together in the fields on a sunny September day. Young and old alike can be seen diligently working side by side, their baskets filled with freshly picked hops. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rural life of that era, capturing the essence of an industry that relied heavily on manual labor. The hop farm workers are depicted amidst towering hop bines, their faces etched with determination as they contribute to this vital agricultural process. Notably, it is the presence of children and young girls among these hardworking individuals that adds an endearing touch to this snapshot from history. Their involvement highlights how families would come together during harvest season to lend a helping hand. Topham's monochrome composition beautifully captures both the physicality and camaraderie shared amongst these dedicated farmers. It serves as a reminder of a time when communities rallied together for common goals while embracing traditional farming practices. As we admire this evocative piece from Topham's collection, we are transported back to an era where rural life thrived and hard work was celebrated against picturesque landscapes like those found in East Peckham.
