EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional farming methods of the 1960s in the rural countryside of Devon, England. The image features a man and a young boy, both dressed in work clothes, standing in a lush green field. They are accompanied by a horse, harnessed to a seed drill, ready to plant the next crop. The horse's mane is damp with sweat, and the boy's expression is focused and determined as he leads the animal. The man, with a hat shielding him from the sun, looks on with pride and guidance. The scene is idyllic, with the rolling hills of the West Country in the background, and the promise of a bountiful harvest in the soil below. The use of a horse for farming was a common practice in rural areas during this time, and the image serves as a reminder of the manual labor and hard work that went into agriculture before the advent of modern machinery. The simple joy and connection between the man, boy, and horse is a testament to the enduring traditions of farming and the close relationship between man and nature.
