Date 1918
Description Woman harvesting apples as old man watches 1918
Details

Old man watches, "not altogether unmixed with disapproval", as women harvest apples in an English garden. The Sphere comments on the mixed reaction of the old man, in this way reflecting on the positive and negative social consequences of the war as perceived by society more broadly. It also draws a comparison between the women, one of whom offers an apple to the old man, and the story of Adam and Eve.
