EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Nose bag for the Army" we are transported back to a simpler time on Jesskins Farm in Cobham, Kent. The year is 1960, and George Dicker, a hardworking farmer, takes a well-deserved break from his laborious ploughing duties. Seated comfortably atop the plough, he enjoys his lunch while his loyal companions - three magnificent Clydesdale horses named Colonel, Major, and Duke - also indulge in their midday meal from their nosebags. The scene exudes tranquility as these majestic creatures graze peacefully alongside their dedicated human partner. It is evident that George affectionately refers to them as his army; together they form an inseparable team working tirelessly to cultivate the land. Their synchronized efforts allow them to cover an impressive acre each day. This photograph captures not only the essence of rural life but also showcases the harmonious relationship between man and beast. As Nature's perfect backdrop frames this idyllic moment frozen in time by TopFoto's lens, it serves as a reminder of simpler times when hard work was rewarded with moments of respite shared amongst friends. Let us cherish this remarkable image that encapsulates the beauty of nature's coexistence with humanity – where eating, grazing, resting become intertwined elements within our collective journey through life.
