EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the rural landscapes of West Sussex in the 1920s. The image captures a moment of sheep dipping, an essential practice for farmers during that era. In this nostalgic scene, we see a farmer diligently tending to his flock, ensuring their well-being and protecting them from diseases. The pen is surrounded by a sturdy wooden fence, enclosing the farmyard where this important task takes place. A quaint barn stands tall in the background, exuding rustic charm against the picturesque countryside backdrop. The gate leading into the pen hints at both access and security as it swings open. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, our attention is drawn to the dip itself - a vat filled with disinfectant used to safeguard these precious animals against harmful parasites. This simple yet effective method was crucial for maintaining healthy livestock on farms across West Sussex. The print from George Garland Collection held at West Sussex Record Office offers us a glimpse into an era when farming practices were deeply rooted in tradition and close-knit communities thrived off their land's bounty. It reminds us of simpler times when hard work and dedication were integral parts of everyday life
