EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ploughing, sowing, and harrowing" takes us back to the 14th century in Britain, capturing scenes from the renowned Luttrell Psalter. The image showcases a snapshot of medieval agriculture and farming practices during that era. In this vibrant artwork, we witness a group of hardworking men engaging in various tasks essential for cultivating the land. A plough is being skillfully guided by an oxen pair while a horse-drawn harrow follows closely behind. These diligent laborers are accompanied by their loyal canine companion and even catch sight of a crow perched nearby. The attention to detail in this print allows us to appreciate not only the agricultural techniques employed but also the intricate costumes worn by these individuals. Their attire reflects the fashion trends prevalent during that time period. Through this visual representation, we gain insight into the challenges faced by peasants who relied on manual labor for survival. This poignant depiction reminds us of their resilience amidst poverty and hardship. Credit must be given to Jessie Noakes for her exceptional artistry in bringing this historical scene to life through her illustrations. Additionally, Sir Geoffrey Luttrell's contribution as both subject and patron further adds significance to this remarkable piece. As we delve into history through such prints, it serves as a reminder of our roots and how far humanity has progressed over centuries thanks to endeavors like those depicted here.
