EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Alfieri in 1929, we are transported back in time to witness the traditional art of thatching. The image showcases a skilled thatcher named Mr Buckland diligently working on the roof of the iconic Hermitage headquarters of the Selboorne Society at Hanwell. With his ladder firmly planted against the structure, Mr Buckland expertly weaves reeds grown on Lord Montagu of Beaulieu's estate into a beautiful thatched roof. This meticulous process not only adds charm and character to the building but also ensures its durability and protection from the elements. The monochrome composition enhances the timeless quality of this scene, evoking nostalgia for a bygone era between two world wars. It serves as a testament to both human craftsmanship and our connection with nature as materials sourced locally contribute to preserving historical architecture. This photograph is an exquisite example of Europeana photography from the early 20th century, capturing an essential aspect of rural life during that period. As we admire Mr Buckland's dedication and skill, let us appreciate how such trades have shaped our architectural heritage while reminding us of simpler times when hard work was celebrated.
