EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the peaceful countryside of Tillington in March 1939. In this snapshot, we witness a hardworking farmer utilizing traditional methods to drill oats into his fertile field. The scene is brought to life by the presence of a majestic carthorse, faithfully plowing through the earth as it pulls the drilling equipment. The idyllic rural landscape stretches out before our eyes, with rolling hills and lush green fields that seem to go on forever. It's springtime, evidenced by the delicate blossoms peeking through nearby trees, promising an abundant harvest ahead. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also showcases the dedication and labor required for farming during this era. The farmer's weathered face reflects years of hard work under the sun, while his hands expertly guide the drill into place. This photograph from West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collection serves as a reminder of simpler times when technology had yet to dominate agricultural practices. It transports us back to an era where horse-drawn machinery was essential for cultivating crops and shaping landscapes. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, let us appreciate both the beauty of nature and those who dedicated their lives to working harmoniously with it – ensuring sustenance for generations past and present.
