EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the English rural life of the 1930s. In this snapshot, we witness the remarkable sight of steam threshing machines making their way from one farm to another. These impressive engines were a vital part of agricultural practices during that era. The image showcases a moment in time when water for the engine was sourced from the nearest pond, transported by horse and cart. The carefully constructed cornstacks stand tall in the background, awaiting their dismantling as sheaf after sheaf is fed into the machine. It's a scene filled with movement and anticipation, as farmers work diligently to complete their winter job. Threshing was an essential task conducted during February 1936, providing sustenance for both humans and livestock alike. The traction engine at the forefront commands attention with its powerful presence, symbolizing progress and innovation in farming techniques. As we delve into this memory lane photograph captured by Between The Wars, we are reminded of an era where agriculture played a pivotal role in shaping communities. This image encapsulates not only hard work but also resilience and adaptability - qualities that defined English rural life throughout history. Step back in time with this fascinating glimpse into our agrarian past – a testament to human ingenuity and dedication towards sustaining livelihoods through changing seasons.
