Under a crescent moon, figures work late to load a towering hay wagon while one sits perched on top of the stack. Firmin made this print as a student at the Central School of Arts & Crafts. He carves the fields, sky and hay into lively patterns of black and white, turning an everyday harvest scene into something almost storybook-like. It hints at the warmth and imagination that would later define Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine and Clangers.
