EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ploughing on the Sussex Downs" takes us back to a time when agricultural workers toiled under the open sky, their faithful working animals by their side. Created by Frank Dadd in 1881, this print captures a picturesque scene of rural life in Sussex. The image showcases a group of hardworking farmers guiding their ploughs across the rolling hills of the Sussex Downs. With determined expressions etched on their faces, they demonstrate an unwavering commitment to tilling the land and reaping its rewards. The presence of cattle adds an authentic touch, reminding us that these animals were indispensable companions in this laborious task. Dadd's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the intricate patterns on each farmer's clothing to the meticulously rendered landscape, he transports us back in time with remarkable precision. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the resilience and dedication exhibited by those who worked tirelessly to sustain themselves and their communities through agriculture. This print serves as both a visual testament to our shared past and a celebration of human ingenuity. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a masterpiece from its collection, allowing us access into moments frozen in time. Through this artwork, we can appreciate not only Dadd's artistic prowess but also gain insight into an era long gone – where man and beast worked hand-in-hand amidst nature's bounty on England's beautiful Sussex Downs.
