About this ebook
Drawing on prestigious archives of photographs, this pictorial charts the history of Britain's farming heritage with 120 rarely seen photographs.
Nearly eleven thousand years ago humans moved away from hunting and gathering and began to raise livestock and plant crops. Our nostalgia for the way the countryside once was is an enduring passion. Photography emerged at a crucial time when farming tasks could be done with a speed and on a scale previously unimaginable.
