Original and charming late 1920's early 1930's era postcard of cheerful but tired looking working class labourers relaxing for a group photograph after the harvest has been brought in, big haystack behind them, lots of characters, young men and women, some children, family members. The workers' clothes are protected by sack cloth aprons. Photograph by Ashby Swift, South Street, Bourne, South Lincolnshire, England,
The ladies are wearing skirts with long hemlines helping to date this photo - hems dropped to just above the ankle in 1930 and rose to below the knee by the mid 1930’s., so this dates the image not later than 1935. One of the ladies is wearing what appears to be a WW1 era uniform seen on munitions workers ( a case of making do) - nobody would have worn new clothes at harvest time.
