Plenty of Mutton - A Glimpse into the Thriving Sheep Trade in 1919 Sussex
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a post-war era, specifically the year 1919, when the Southdown Sheep Society organized its annual show and sale at Lewes, Sussex. The image showcases an impressive sight - a staggering number of 10,500 sheep offered for sale. In this snapshot of history, we witness hardworking men dressed in traditional attire; farmers and shepherds dedicatedly tending to their flocks. Their hats shield them from the sun as they navigate through pens filled with these magnificent creatures. The backdrop reveals a picturesque rural landscape adorned by a windmill standing tall against the sky. This scene serves as a reminder that despite the challenges faced during those times, agriculture remained an integral part of people's lives. The photograph captures not only the magnitude of this auction but also symbolizes resilience and hope after years of war-torn Europe. It stands as evidence that life was gradually returning to normalcy as communities engaged in vital economic activities like livestock trade. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this monochrome masterpiece offers us a glimpse into our agricultural heritage while highlighting how farming played an essential role in rebuilding societies after World War I.
