EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in English rural life during the 1930s. Taken at the East Malling Research Station open day in Kent on 2nd June 1937, it showcases a group of hardworking women diligently spraying trees in an orchard. The image provides a glimpse into the agricultural practices of that era, highlighting the importance of research and innovation in farming. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from the past. It transports us back to an era between the wars when Europe was undergoing significant changes. Against this backdrop, these women stand as symbols of resilience and determination, contributing to their community's livelihood through their work on the farm. John Topham's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the women but also their surroundings: rows upon rows of trees stretching out behind them. Their demonstration of using pesticides and insecticides emphasizes how scientific advancements were being integrated into traditional farming methods. As we observe this historic photograph, we are reminded of how far agriculture has come since then while acknowledging its roots firmly planted in research and development. This image serves as a testament to both progress and tradition within European farming practices during the twentieth century.
