Authentic Break Downs Enjoy Farmers Lunch Nose Rest Wiltshire 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the authentic essence of a Ploughman's Lunch, a traditional mid-day meal for farmworkers in rural Britain. Taken in the picturesque Wiltshire Downs in 1937, the image showcases a group of weary farmers taking a well-deserved break from their laborious work in the fields. The serene landscape of the rolling hills and open skies provides a beautiful backdrop to their simple yet hearty meal. The farmers sit on the grass, their worn work clothes and muddy boots a testament to their hard work. They enjoy their lunch, which consists of a hunk of crusty bread, a ripe cheese, a crisp apple, and a savory sausage, all nestled in a brown paper bag. One farmer leans back on his hands, taking a moment to rest his nose against the cool grass, while another leans forward, intently focused on his meal. A horse, tethered nearby, gazes curiously at the scene. This historical photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily lives of farmworkers during the early 20th century. The simple pleasures of a Ploughman's Lunch, shared with friends and enjoyed amidst the natural beauty of the countryside, continue to resonate with us today, reminding us of the importance of taking a break and savoring the simple things in life.
