Speed the Plough (litho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of early 20th-century agricultural life in England. Created by Pont (Graham Laidler) in 1940, this lithograph was featured in "The British Carry On" a collection of wartime drawings. The artwork showcases a ploughman diligently guiding his horse-drawn plough through the fields with remarkable speed and precision. The artist's attention to detail beautifully portrays the rapidity and energy involved in this age-old farming practice. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to an era when manual labor played a crucial role in sustaining communities. Set against the backdrop of World War II, "Speed the Plough (litho)" serves as both historical documentation and comic relief. It reminds us that even during times of conflict, everyday tasks like ploughing continued to shape daily life. This print not only celebrates English agriculture but also highlights Pont's talent for injecting humor into his work. With its playful depiction of farmwork, it brings a smile to our faces while offering insight into rural traditions that have shaped our history. As we admire this fine art piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind it and reflect on how much has changed since those early days of farming while recognizing the enduring importance of hard work and dedication in shaping our world.
