EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the beauty and simplicity of Pollard Willows in their natural habitat in Somerset, England during the 1950s. Pollard Willows, also known as Osier Willows, are unique trees that have been selectively grown and managed for centuries for the purpose of basket making. The process of pollarding involves cutting back the branches of the tree to a height of around 6 feet, allowing new shoots to grow from the base, which are then harvested for weaving. The image showcases a group of these majestic trees, their gnarled and twisted trunks reaching towards the sky, surrounded by lush green foliage and a serene landscape. The sunlight filters through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground below. The scene is timeless, transporting us back to a simpler era, where nature and craftsmanship were intertwined. The Pollard Willows of Somerset have been an essential resource for basket makers for generations, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of this artisanal craft. The trees are not only a source of raw material but also a symbol of the deep connection between people and their environment. The photograph invites us to reflect on the importance of preserving such traditions and the natural world that sustains them.
