EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, taken circa 1920s, captures the quintessential image of a shepherd of the Lakes district, expertly navigating the hilly terrain with his faithful collie dog and horse in tow. The shepherd, dressed in traditional attire, demonstrates his remarkable skill and devotion to his flock as he carries one of his sheep across his broad shoulders. The rolling hills and picturesque lake in the background add to the idyllic and sentimental scene. The shepherd's horse, with its white coat, follows obediently behind, its reins held gently in the shepherd's hand. The collie dog, ever watchful and attentive, keeps a close eye on the flock as they make their way up the slope. The scene exudes an air of affection and caring, as the man shows his deep connection with these noble beasts, a testament to the long-standing history and traditions of English countryfolk and their relationship with the countryside. This charming and sweet photograph transports us back in time, evoking a sense of nostalgia and warmth. It is a touching reminder of the simple pleasures of rural life and the deep bond between man and animal. The image is a beautiful addition to any collection of historical photographs or those who appreciate the beauty and tradition of the English countryside.
