EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of Cotswold, Shropshire, and Oxford sheep grazing peacefully in a pasture in Iowa, USA, during the early 1900s. This charming photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a simpler era of rural life in America. The undulating hills of Iowa provide the idyllic backdrop for this scene, with the lush, green pasture dotted with the distinctive, curly-coated Cotswold and Oxford sheep. These breeds, originating from England's Cotswold region and Oxfordshire, respectively, were popular choices for farmers in the United States due to their hardiness and excellent wool quality. The farmer, dressed in Victorian or Edwardian attire, stands in the foreground, his lantern in hand, likely tending to his flock or checking on the crops that grow alongside the pasture. The diverse range of crops, including corn and hay, speaks to the multifaceted nature of farming during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rural lifestyle of early 20th-century America, a time when farming was the backbone of the economy and the connection between people and the land was deeply rooted. The serene image of the sheep in pasture, the rolling hills, and the dedicated farmer working the land all come together to create a captivating and nostalgic scene.
