EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming village of Fishbourne in West Sussex, capturing a moment frozen in time from March 1934. The focus of this image is an old blacksmith, whose weathered face tells countless stories of hard work and dedication. Standing proudly amidst his smithy, he exudes a sense of character that can only be acquired through years of honing one's craft. Dressed in traditional attire, the blacksmith wears a worn leather belt around his waist, symbolizing the strength and resilience required for his trade. His hat sits atop his head with pride, shielding him from sparks and heat as he expertly shapes metal into functional works of art. Behind round spectacles perched on his nose, eyes filled with wisdom and experience peer out at us. The ambiance surrounding this elderly gentleman transports us to a bygone era - the 1930s - where craftsmanship was revered and artisans like him were highly respected members of their communities. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history that resides within Fishbourne. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable image offers viewers a glimpse into an era long past. It reminds us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within its frame but also those who came before us; individuals whose skills helped shape our world today.
