EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during World War II when the daily routine of farming took on new meaning as Land Girls, including Miss Ivy Baldwin (left), lent their skills to the war effort. With the men away at the front, women like Ivy stepped in to keep the farms running and ensure the nation's food supply remained stable. In this scene, Land Girls are seen working as milkmaids on a farm in Tooting, London. Dressed in their practical uniforms, they expertly milk cows in a calm and efficient manner, their faces expressing a sense of focus and determination. The scene is reminiscent of traditional milkmaid paintings, but with a modern and war-time twist. Miss Ivy Baldwin, a multiple shop worker before the war, is shown here in her new role as a Land Girl. Her expression is serious, yet her posture is confident, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the women who took on these vital roles during the conflict. The image is a poignant reminder of the many ways in which women contributed to the war effort during World War II. It also highlights the importance of the farming industry and the role it played in sustaining the nation during a time of great upheaval. This photograph is part of the Mary Evans/Robert Hunt Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a valuable historical record of the Land Girls and their contributions during the war.
