EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a simpler time, capturing the essence of English rural life in the 1950s. The image showcases a group of hardworking fruit pickers taking a well-deserved break during their spell of apple picking in the picturesque orchards at Malling, Kent. Underneath the shade of a towering tree, these weary workers find solace and respite from their laborious task. Their faces radiate contentment as they relax and unwind, savoring this precious moment amidst nature's embrace. It is tea time - an oasis in their day filled with camaraderie and refreshment. The autumn season surrounds them, evident by the bountiful harvest that awaits collection. This picture transports us to a different era when manual labor was celebrated and cherished. These men and women epitomize dedication as they contribute to the timeless tradition of apple picking. Through this photograph, we are reminded not only of our agricultural heritage but also of the importance of rest and downtime amidst our busy lives. It serves as a gentle reminder that even during times marked by hard work, it is essential to take moments for ourselves – to recharge our spirits within nature's sanctuary. John Topham skillfully captures this scene on film, allowing us to step into his memory lane exhibition where we can appreciate both his artistry and glimpse into England's past.
