EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving titled "M is for Milkmaid" by William Nicholson showcases the beauty and intricacy of this traditional printmaking technique. The image depicts a scene from an Edwardian farm, where a female milkmaid is seen working diligently with her cart and mule. Her profession as a dairy worker during the Victorian era highlights the importance of agriculture in society at that time. The artist's stylized approach adds depth to the composition, capturing both the charm of rural life and the graphic nature of his craft. The black and white palette emphasizes the contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the overall visual impact. Measuring 26.7x24 cm, this posthumously printed wood engraving has been reproduced from its original block, ensuring its authenticity and historical significance. It now resides in a private collection, cherished for its artistic value. "M is for Milkmaid" serves as more than just an alphabet illustration; it offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when farming was not only an occupation but also a way of life. This artwork celebrates both the agricultural heritage and women's contributions to this vital industry.
