Here is a photographic celebration of English country life, imagery of a world that becomes more loved as time passes. The Titshall brothers, Leonard and Ralph, were commercial photographers based in Ipswich. Leonard travelled around the countryside in a motorcycle and sidecar capturing shots of working people as they paused from their labours. This dramatic and illuminating work offers 200 photographs, including more than 100 scenes of: *Working horses and horsemen *A wide range of threshing and steam traction engine shots *Roots and cereal harvesting *Shepherds *Rural tradesmen *Village people *And more! Taken from 1925 to 1933 in Suffolk, they create a vivid portrait of the farm-centred rural life of the time, and they are accompanied by informative captions. Since the book was first published, fresh information has come to light about the scenes and people it records. This has been incorporated into this handsome new edition. One of the most striking identifications is that of Sam Fuller, photographed in 1926 in his working clothes having just started on the farm in which he was to remain for over 62 years. This is a book that allows you to travel in time back to see the faces, lives, and work of men and women that fed England.
