EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque countryside of West Sussex in February 1934. The image, captured by the talented photographer George Garland, showcases a timeless rural scene that exudes skill, tradition, and nostalgia. In the foreground of the photograph, we see a group of skilled craftsmen meticulously constructing thatching hurdles for a lambing fold. These intricately woven structures were essential in creating safe enclosures for newborn lambs during their vulnerable early days. The men's focused expressions reveal their expertise and dedication to this age-old trade. The backdrop is adorned with towering hay stacks, symbolizing the abundance of harvest season. This idyllic setting transports us to an era when agriculture was at its core and manual labor shaped daily life in these rural communities. George Garland's lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also preserves the essence of traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from West Sussex County Council's Garland Collection, our hearts are filled with admiration for those who worked tirelessly to preserve their heritage amidst changing times. This print serves as a reminder of the beauty found within simplicity and pays homage to those who dedicated themselves to preserving rural traditions – an enduring testament to both human ingenuity and nature's bountiful offerings.
