Women's work: On the land - ploughing
Description
A woman holds the ends of a plough. Behind her another woman guides a plough which is pulled by horses. Hartrick was sent to various locations to make studies for his series of lithographs about women's work. In most cases the women were doing work previously undertaken by men. Hartrick's images show the adaptability of women during war. This is no. 55 from the series of 66 lithographs 'The Great War: Britain's efforts and ideals', published by the British Ministry of Information, London 1917.
