Ricking the Reed, Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads, c. 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back in time to the rural beauty of East Anglia in the late 19th century. The image captures a scene of hard work and tranquility as agricultural laborers go about their daily tasks amidst the stunning backdrop of the Norfolk Broads. In this snapshot, we see men loading boats with rushes using traditional tools such as reaping hooks and gladdon cutters. The stacks of harvested reeds create a picturesque sight against the marshy landscape, showcasing both human ingenuity and nature's bounty. The differential focusing technique employed by photographers Peter Emerson and Thomas Goodall adds depth to this naturalistic composition. It draws our attention to every intricate detail - from each individual worker diligently piling up reeds onto boats, to a tugboat gracefully navigating through calm waters. This photograph not only documents an important aspect of fen country life but also serves as a testament to the skillful artistry behind early photography. Through their lens, Emerson and Goodall have captured a moment frozen in time that allows us to appreciate both the physical labor involved in harvesting these vital resources and the serene beauty found within our natural surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Stapleton Collection, let us be transported back in time to an era where man worked harmoniously with nature on these enchanting waterways known as the Norfolk Broads.
