EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Back to the Land, 1905 (1933)" offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century British agricultural life. The image showcases a group of hardworking agricultural workers in their rustic countryside setting. With their cart as a focal point, these men epitomize the concept of rural labor during this era.
