EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from The Northcliffe Collection takes us back to the year 1948, where a bustling turkey farm in Dean Park, Midlothian, Scotland was preparing for the upcoming Christmas season. The image exudes an air of nostalgia and offers a glimpse into the historic practices of yesteryears. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see turkeys being lovingly nurtured and fattened up for their grand role as centerpiece on festive tables. The forties' charm is palpable as workers diligently tend to these magnificent birds with care and expertise. Their dedication to ensuring that each turkey reaches its full potential is evident in their meticulous approach. The scene transports us to a bygone era when farming practices were more intimate and hands-on. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when communities relied on local farms for their holiday feasts. This photograph encapsulates not only the spirit of Christmas but also highlights the importance placed on tradition during this joyous season. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, it sparks curiosity about how our ancestors celebrated Christmas in post-war Scotland. It invites us to reflect on our own traditions while appreciating those who came before us. With its rich historical significance and undeniable charm, this print captures both the essence of Christmas past and the enduring beauty found within vintage imagery.
