EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the English countryside of the 1930s. The image captures a serene moment during a meal break for hardworking farm labourers, who have paused their arduous tasks to replenish their energy. However, what makes this scene truly remarkable is the inclusion of four majestic horses enjoying their own food break alongside their human companions. The photograph showcases the symbiotic relationship between man and beast in rural agricultural life. As the labourers sit on an old drystone wall, engrossed in conversation and nourishing themselves with homemade meals, the horses stand nearby contentedly munching from nose bags filled with hay or oats. It is evident that these noble creatures play an integral role in supporting the farmers' work. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and camaraderie amidst nature's beauty. The lush green fields stretch out behind them, while wisps of clouds dotting the sky add depth to the composition. Every detail seems carefully captured - from each individual's worn clothing to every horse's gentle expression. This print serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when agriculture relied heavily on manual labor and traditional methods. It encapsulates not only a snapshot of history but also celebrates both human resilience and our connection with animals as indispensable partners in shaping our world.
