This print titled "Haymaking on the red cliffs of Devon" takes us back to a carefree summer day in 1925. The image showcases visitors in a joyous holiday mood, finding unexpected delight in lending a hand with hay cutting on the steep slopes of Hillsborough, which overlooks the picturesque town of Ilfracombe. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the rugged beauty of Devon's red cliffs contrasting against the lush green fields. It transports us to an era between the wars when life was simpler, and people found pleasure in simple activities amidst breathtaking scenery. The photograph is a testament to human connection and camaraderie as strangers come together to assist local farmers during their laborious task. Their laughter and enthusiasm are palpable, reflecting their genuine enjoyment in this unique experience. Taken by Central News, this twentieth-century gem from Europeana Photography evokes nostalgia for a time long gone. It serves as a reminder that even amidst hard work, there can be moments of fun and shared happiness. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our own desire for adventure and exploration. We yearn to escape into nature's embrace just like those visitors did over nine decades ago – seeking solace among rolling hills and finding joy through simple acts such as haymaking on Devon's majestic red cliffs.
