Amidst the rustic charm of a hay loft, various stories unfold through time. In 1905, a girl discovers a litter of kittens hidden away, nestled amongst the bales. A century earlier, in 1807, witches were believed to gather in haylofts, as depicted in an old painting. In 1832, Edward Lowe and his companions set fire to the Aldersgate Inn and plundered its contents, a notorious event in London's history. Fast forward to Slovenia, 1873, where a farmer tenderly feeds livestock hay, capturing the essence of rural life. Harvesting seasons come and go, as depicted in two 1879 wood engravings. A silent film still freezes a moment in time, while the capture of the Cato Street Conspirators in a hayloft serves as a reminder of history's intrigue. The hay loft, a simple structure, holds stories of discovery, legend, history, and daily life.
