Catalog Description

Common land leads to a common life. The passing traveller stops to chat with the knot of laborers, and even the dogs and cows seems to share in the good fellowship. There are no enclosures, and the villagers set no fences between one another.

The painting is, in all likelihood, the one shown in the 1884 exhibition--albeit with a title different from the catalog.
