Beschreibung

The print titled "THE CROWN OF HOPS" is an 1851 steel engraving that portrays a charming rural scene, originally painted by W.F. Witherington and skillfully engraved by Bourne. The image depicts three figures in a lush, verdant setting, likely a hop garden, which was a common sight in the English countryside. In the foreground, a young girl stands holding a basket filled with freshly picked hops, while an older woman, possibly her mother, places a crown of hops on her head, symbolizing the harvest and the fruits of their labor. A third figure, a young boy, sits on the ground, looking up at the girl with a sense of admiration or curiosity. The scene is framed by the dense foliage of hop vines, adding to the pastoral atmosphere. The engraving captures the intricate details of the figures' clothing and the natural surroundings, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The print was published by London Publishers Smith, Elder & Co., and the original painting is noted to be from the Vernon Gallery. W.F. Witherington was known for his genre paintings that often depicted rural life and customs, and this engraving is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of everyday scenes with a touch of sentimentality.
