EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1939, we are transported back in time to the picturesque countryside of Pulborough. Two hardworking farmers can be seen diligently tending to their land with a horse-drawn drilling machine. The image exudes a sense of tranquility, capturing the essence of rural life during that era. The vastness of the farm stretches out before us, showcasing endless fields ready for cultivation. The farmers' expertise is evident as they meticulously sow wheat seeds into the fertile soil, ensuring a bountiful crop for future harvests. Their synchronized movements demonstrate years of experience and an unwavering dedication to their craft. The presence of horses adds an element of nostalgia to this scene, reminding us of simpler times when horsepower was literal rather than metaphorical. These majestic animals stand tall and proud in their harnesses, serving as loyal companions and indispensable tools for these diligent farmers.
