The Valley Farm, near Sudbourne is a 1942 watercolor by Louisa Puller, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Louisa Puller painted The Valley Farm, near Sudbourne in 1942. It’s a watercolor landscape of a farm near Sudbourne in Suffolk. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds it. This work is part of a series Puller made for the Recording Britain scheme. Unlike other artists in the project, she didn’t hide signs of modern life. You can spot telephone wires in this scene.

A watercolour by Louisa Puller from 1942, part of the Recording Britain scheme, depicts several late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century farm buildings arranged on a low ridge, with telephone wires visible in the background. Unlike many of her contemporaries in the scheme, Puller included modern elements such as the wires, emphasizing progress rather than a rural ideal. The work is one of five farm scenes she produced near the Suffolk village of Sudbourne.
