EDITORS COMMENTS
"In the heart of the 1930s, as the rain poured down relentlessly, a solitary figure could be found standing resolutely in a muddy field. John Turner, a humble farmer, braved the elements in his raincoat, hat, and galoshes, holding up what remained of his broken umbrella for meager protection. The pouring rain drenched his clothes, leaving him and the landscape around him drenched and desolate. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the essence of the miserable weather that seemed to pervade the era. The rain, a constant companion during this time, added to the overall sense of hardship and struggle that characterized the era. Turner's determined expression, despite the wet and dismal conditions, speaks to the resilience and perseverance of the human spirit. This poignant self-portrait by John Turner offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the elements ruled supreme and the simple act of standing in the rain became an act of defiance against the odds. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the indomitable spirit of mankind." Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans Prints Online. Reproduction Number: MEV022337. Date: 1930s.
