Berkshire Teams and Teamsters c. 20th century

"Berkshire Teams and Teamsters" is a photogravure by George Davison, a prominent photographer known for his pictorialist style. This image, dating back to the early 20th century, depicts a group of men and their horses in a rural setting, likely England. The use of soft focus and tonal range, characteristic of pictorialism, creates a sense of nostalgia and romanticizes the fading agricultural way of life. Davison's work often celebrated the beauty of everyday life, capturing the dignity of labor and the grandeur of nature.
