EDITORS COMMENTS
Gathering Sticks in the New Forest, 1903 This evocative image captures the simple pleasures of rural life in early 20th century England, as an old crone gathers sticks in the picturesque New Forest of Hampshire. Dated December 20, 1903, the photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily routines and traditions of the countryside. The New Forest, a sprawling expanse of woodland and heathland, has been a cherished part of English heritage for centuries. In this photograph, the forest's ancient oaks and beeches provide a backdrop to the woman's laborious task. The forest floor is carpeted with fallen leaves, and the sun casts dappled light through the trees, creating a scene of tranquility and beauty. The old crone, dressed in a shawl and a wide-brimmed hat, is bent over, carefully selecting sticks for the upcoming winter. Her gnarled hands, calloused from a lifetime of work, deftly pick up each stick, adding it to the growing pile. Her face, etched with the lines of age and experience, is a testament to the resilience and strength of those who lived and worked in the countryside. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a poignant reminder of the connection between people and nature, and the importance of self-sufficiency in rural communities. It also highlights the passage of time and the enduring charm of the English countryside. The image, now a cherished piece of historical documentation, is available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the simple joys of life, even as we go about our modern lives.
