EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by George Garland in 1932, transports us to the enchanting Soanes Farm in Petworth. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to a shepherd standing amidst a picturesque winter wonderland. Dressed in an overcoat and sporting a stylish trilby hat, he exudes timeless charm against the backdrop of glistening snow. The scene is made even more delightful by the presence of adorable lambs frolicking around their caretaker. Their innocent playfulness brings warmth to this wintry tableau, reminding us that life persists even in the harshest conditions. The shepherd's pipe hangs loosely from his lips as he watches over his flock with unwavering dedication. Charles Townsend, owner of Soanes Farm at that time, entrusted these precious creatures to capable hands like those of our unnamed shepherd. His string belt cinches his coat tightly around him as if bracing for another cold gust of wind. This remarkable print has been preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office since its creation. It serves as a testament to both George Garland's skillful eye for capturing moments frozen in time and the enduring beauty found within rural landscapes during winters past. As we admire this snapshot from history, let it transport us back to a simpler era where shepherds tended their flocks under blankets of snow – an evocative reminder that nature's wonders have always captivated hearts throughout generations.
