EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Strewberry field MCF01_02_1292" transports us back to a bygone era in Cheddar, Sedgemoor, Somerset. The image captures the essence of rural life in the early 1900s, showcasing farm labourers diligently working in a picturesque strawberry field. With spades in hand and determination etched on their faces, these hardworking individuals tend to the bountiful crop that stretches before them. As we gaze at this scene, our eyes are drawn beyond the vibrant strawberry plants towards an enchanting orchard nestled on the hillside above. The juxtaposition of lush greenery against a backdrop of rolling hills creates a serene and idyllic countryside landscape. Katherine MacFee's expertly captured photograph not only documents agricultural practices but also encapsulates a way of life deeply intertwined with nature. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of farming and fruit growing within local communities during this time period. The authenticity and simplicity depicted in this image evoke feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when people relied heavily on manual labor to sustain themselves. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a window into history that allows us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by those who worked tirelessly on these lands.
