EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Welsh heritage and the spirit of the 1920s, as a young Welsh woman gracefully rides a donkey in traditional attire. Dressed in a checked patterned dress, bonnet, and shawl, she embodies the classic and timeless fashion of the era. The woman's smile and relaxed posture, riding sidesaddle, convey a sense of joy and freedom as she travels from Hook to Haverfordwest, a distance of three or four miles, for work or other commitments. The use of a donkey as a mode of transportation was common during this time, particularly for girls and women in rural areas of Pembrokeshire, Wales. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique history and culture of the region. The intricate patterns and checks on her dress, as well as the traditional bonnet and shawl, add to the authenticity and charm of the photograph. The woman's attire, reminiscent of the 1920s, is a testament to the rich and diverse clothing traditions of Wales during this period. This photograph, taken in the South of Wales, is a beautiful representation of the strong connection between the people and their land. It is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and hardworking spirit that once defined daily life in this region. The woman's journey on the donkey, from Hook to Haverfordwest, was a common occurrence in the past, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the people of Dyfed, Wales, who made the most of their resources and embraced the challenges of their rural way of life.
