The Crown of Hops, 1843-1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the idyllic countryside of Victorian England. Created by renowned artist Herbert Bourne, this engraving beautifully captures a genre scene depicting hop-pickers making a garland for a little girl. During the 19th century, picking hops provided an escape for London's impoverished residents from the polluted city. This working holiday in the Kent countryside allowed them to breathe fresh air and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. The image showcases women and girls adorned with flowers in their hair as they engage in this rural occupation. Bourne's attention to detail brings forth the romance and rustic charm of this era. The monochrome palette emphasizes the simplicity and purity of life in rural Britain during this time period. The delicate crown made from common hops symbolizes both nature's bounty and human creativity. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Victorian society, where regionalism played an important role. It reminds us of William Frederick Witherington's painting "The Hop Garland" displayed at the Tate Gallery, which inspired Bourne's engraving. "The Crown of Hops" is a testament to Herbert Bourne's talent as well as his ability to capture moments that transcend time. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported back to an era when even simple tasks held profound meaning – reminding us of our connection with nature and our shared humanity across centuries
