EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut title page, titled "PLOWING, 1523" is a remarkable snapshot of agricultural life in Renaissance England. It serves as the introduction to "The Boke of Husbandrie" which holds the distinction of being the first book on agriculture ever printed in England. In this scene, we are transported to a serene countryside where daily farm life unfolds. A group of hardworking men can be seen laboring under the bright sun, their hats shielding them from its rays. With determination etched on their faces, they guide an ox-drawn plow through the fertile soil, preparing it for planting. The landscape itself adds depth and beauty to this image. The rolling hills provide a picturesque backdrop against which these farmers toil tirelessly. The wheel and whip attached to the plow symbolize both innovation and control over nature's forces. This woodcut not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us insight into rural existence during that era. It reminds us of the importance placed on agriculture as well as the dedication required by those who worked tirelessly on farms across England. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back centuries ago when farming was at the heart of society – an essential part of everyday life that sustained communities and shaped nations.
