EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by George Greenwell, we are transported back to the picturesque countryside of Cranbrook, Kent in the 1940s. The image captures a lively ploughing match, an age-old tradition that brought together farmers from all corners of the region. Amidst rolling hills and vast fields, horses adorned with elegant harnesses pull sturdy carts as they compete against each other in a display of strength and skill. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as spectators gather around to witness this rural spectacle. The scene showcases not only the agricultural industry at its finest but also reflects the deep-rooted traditions that have shaped rural life for generations. The wagons stand proudly on display, showcasing their intricate craftsmanship while serving as a reminder of simpler times when horse-drawn vehicles were essential for farming activities. This snapshot into history reminds us of the importance placed on community spirit and friendly competition during those years. It serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication required in maintaining these lands and sustaining livelihoods. George Greenwell's photograph beautifully encapsulates an era where farming was more than just an occupation; it was a way of life deeply intertwined with nature's rhythm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our connection to our land, our animals, and our shared heritage - elements that continue to shape who we are today.
