Caption

'Hop Picking', late 18th century, (1912). Hops are grown up poles and wires and picked in September. Hop-picking, though it was considered suitable for women and children, was not easy work. William Hamilton (1751-1801) was an English painter and illustrator, well known for his paintings depicting episodes from the plays of Shakespeare and for his illustrations of poems.
