1882 Labourer Occupation Occupations Sickle Smock Whiskers Worker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in England during the Victorian era, with the image of an English farm labourer from 1882 holding a sickle. Dressed in traditional workwear, the man wears a flat cap and a smock, the practical attire of the time for agricultural labourers. His whiskers and furrowed brow suggest the hardships and long hours that came with the job. The sickle in his hand, a symbol of the harvest season, underscores the cyclical nature of farm work and the importance of the harvest in rural communities. The labourer's strong, calloused hands and the worn appearance of his clothes speak to the physical demands of the occupation. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a farm labourer during the 1880s. It is a reminder of the importance of manual labour and the connection between people and the land. The image also highlights the role of the agricultural worker in providing food and sustenance for the growing population, making it an essential contribution to our understanding of the social and economic history of the time. This photograph is part of the Occupations 1882 series from Mary Evans Picture Library, a valuable collection of historical images that offers insights into the various occupations and trades that shaped the Victorian era. The series provides a rich resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the history of work and labour in England during this period.
