EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to the picturesque countryside of Truro, Cornwall. The image showcases a scene at Little Canaan, where a hay wagon is being loaded by the ford. With its rustic charm and timeless appeal, this photograph captures the essence of rural life during that era. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the magnificent horse-drawn cart laden with freshly harvested hay. The sturdy Cornish horse stands proudly at the forefront, displaying its strength and grace as it patiently waits for its load to be secured. This noble creature symbolizes not only hard work but also serves as a testament to the deep connection between man and beast in agricultural practices. As we delve into this image further, we are transported into a world of laborious yet rewarding tasks associated with haymaking and harvesting. The surrounding landscape exudes tranquility, with rolling hills and lush green fields stretching out towards the horizon. It's easy to imagine farmers working diligently under clear blue skies while enjoying nature's bounty. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this remarkable piece offers an invaluable glimpse into Cornwall's rich history and cultural heritage. Preserved within these frames lies not just an ordinary moment frozen in time but rather a window through which we can appreciate our ancestors' dedication to their land and livelihoods.
