EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Reaping, carrying, and carting" takes us back in time to the 14th century. It is a scene from the renowned Luttrell Psalter, beautifully captured by Jessie Noakes in her book Art History and Literature Illustrations. The image showcases the arduous yet essential tasks of agricultural workers during this period. In vibrant color and intricate detail, we see men dressed in medieval attire diligently reaping wheat fields with scythes. Their hard work continues as they carry sheaves on their backs or load them onto horse-drawn carts for transportation. These peasants symbolize the backbone of British agriculture at that time. The print not only portrays scenes of labor but also hints at the poverty prevalent among these farm workers. The worn-out clothing and humble surroundings serve as a reminder of their challenging lives. Sir Geoffrey Luttrell's presence adds historical significance to this artwork. As an influential figure during the Middle Ages, his patronage supported artists like Noakes in preserving such important cultural artifacts. Through this photographical masterpiece, we are transported to a bygone era where manual labor was crucial for survival. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and our deep connection with nature's bounties.
