Broom Lurcher Pair Stable Stables
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1910s, a pair of horses stand calmly in their stable, their massive forms bathed in soft, natural light that filters in through the open doorway. Their coats, a rich brown and glossy black, are well-groomed and free of dust, a testament to the care and attention they receive from their human companions. In the foreground, a lurcher, a long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog, keeps a watchful eye on the horses. Its ears perked up, the lurcher holds a broom in its mouth, likely used to keep the stable clean and tidy. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony, as the horses and the lurcher coexist peacefully in their shared space. The horses, powerful and majestic, are the epitome of strength and endurance, while the lurcher, with its agile frame and alert demeanor, embodies the essence of a loyal and hardworking companion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses were an integral part of daily life and farm work. The image is a poignant reminder of the deep bond that exists between humans and animals, and the important role that each plays in the other's life. The horses and the lurcher, in their simple yet profound way, remind us of the beauty and joy that can be found in the everyday moments of rural life.
