EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history, showcasing Shoreham Harbour in West Sussex during the early 20th century. The image transports us back to a time when horse-drawn ballast carts were an integral part of maritime operations. In this particular scene, we witness a partly-submerged cart standing proudly amidst the calm waters of the sea. The juxtaposition of the majestic horse and its sturdy cart against the vastness of the ocean creates a sense of awe and admiration for both man and beast. It is evident that this was no ordinary workday; instead, it was an extraordinary display of human ingenuity and determination. Edward John Bedford's skilled photography allows us to appreciate not only the technical aspects but also the artistic composition within this historical context. The black-and-white tones emphasize every detail, highlighting each ripple on the water's surface and capturing every nuance in texture. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Historic England's archive, we are reminded of our rich maritime heritage and how humans have always found innovative ways to conquer nature's challenges. This photograph serves as a testament to our ancestors' unwavering spirit, their ability to adapt, and their relentless pursuit of progress. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they provide valuable insights into where we come from while inspiring us towards future endeavors.
