EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the rural village of Camelsdale in 1937. The image, skillfully captured by George Garland, showcases a moment of craftsmanship that is both nostalgic and awe-inspiring. In the center of the frame stands a skilled artisan, engrossed in the art of Bee Skep making. With nimble hands and intense focus, he weaves together strands of natural materials to create these traditional beehive structures. This manual labor exemplifies a bygone era when intricate handiwork was valued and celebrated. The scene exudes an air of tranquility as we witness this age-old craft being practiced amidst picturesque countryside surroundings. The rustic backdrop adds depth to our appreciation for this forgotten skill, reminding us of simpler times when such crafts were essential for daily life. As we gaze upon this print from West Sussex County Council's Garland Collection, feelings of admiration mix with nostalgia. We are transported back to an era where weaving skills were passed down through generations, preserving traditions that connected communities. This photograph serves as a testament to the importance placed on manual labor and craftsmanship throughout history. It invites us to reflect on how far society has come while also acknowledging the value found in embracing our roots
