EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Herding piglets" takes us back to the charming village of Maugersbury in Cotswold, Gloucestershire during the 1920s. The lens captures a picturesque scene on Chapel Street, where three figures can be seen guiding a lively herd of pigs along the terraced cottages. The image exudes an undeniable sense of rural life and simplicity. It transports us to a time when agriculture played a vital role in shaping communities. The terrace of cottages stands as witnesses to generations past, their quaint facades providing a backdrop for this timeless moment. As we delve into the details, our attention is immediately drawn to the adorable piglets trotting alongside their human companions. Their playful nature adds an element of joy and innocence to this snapshot from history. We can almost hear their tiny hooves tapping against the cobblestone street. Katherine MacFee's expert eye has beautifully captured not only these endearing animals but also the essence of village life itself. Through her lens, we catch glimpses of hardworking people going about their daily routines amidst this idyllic setting. This print serves as both a visual delight and an important historical document that allows us to reflect upon simpler times when humans lived harmoniously with livestock in close-knit communities like Maugersbury.
