| Title of Work: | Wiltshire hoop-raved wagon |
| Date of Work: | 1939 |
| Medium: | drawing |
| Period/Style: | twentieth century |
| URL: | http://www.hayinart.com/images/1243.jpg |
| Citation: | Tanner, Heather and Robin. Wiltshire Village. London: Impact Books, 1987, p. 80. |
| Index Words: | wagon, transport |
| Place: | England |
| Notes: | The ricks in the background are conical and have ornaments at their peak, characteristic of corn (cereal) not hay. So let 's focus on the Wiltshire hoop-raved or bow-raved haywain of which 'the rave or surboard continues from the front wheel and rises in a curve over the back wheel which is higher. The shape of the wagon, side view, is so graceful that one could imagine the curve to have been made for beauty's sake alone. In fact, however, this and all the other less obvious curves of the wagon -- for scarcely a timber of it is straight -- were born of necessity, and each necessity was born of another. The wagon bed was limited to three feet then inches in width; the addition of raves would extend its carrying capacity by sixteen inches at either side. The width of the bed was determined by the width of the wheel-track (in this case five feet eight inches), which had to depend on the distance between the ruts in the road. The continual come-and-go of carts of the traditional width hade made those ruts, and they in turn, since they could not be altered save by road engineering unheard of a century ago, perpetuated the tradition.' Tanner and Tanner, pp 81-82. |

| Notes: | Nash's cylinders in a shorn field, inspired by the megaliths at Avebury, Wiltshire, might well be called 'Equivalents for the giant bales,' so vividly do they adumbrate the farm landscape of sixty years later. |

| Title of Work: | Thistles in the sun |
| Date of Work: | 1974 |

| Citation: | MacMillan, Duncan. Scottish Art, 1460-1990. Edinburgh: Mainstream, 1990, p. 12. |
| Index Words: | haystack, cap |
| Place: | Scotland |
| Notes: | Thistles are highly undesirable in the hayfield, miserably prickly to the haymaker. Were it not for the beautifully drawn capped haystack behind them they would be out of place in this database. But the thistle is also Scotland's emblem, and, according to MacMillan, the etching 'symbolizes the optimism of Scotland in the seventies...' p. 362. |
