EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from September 1934, we are transported to a serene orchard scene captured by the talented George Garland. The image showcases an endearing moment of cider apple gathering, where an elderly gentleman and a young lady work together harmoniously amidst nature's bounty. The elderly gentleman, with his distinguished beard and weathered face, exudes wisdom and experience as he carefully selects ripe apples from the tree. His character shines through as he guides the young lady on how to handle each apple with care. She radiates joy in her eyes and a genuine happiness that can only come from being surrounded by such natural beauty. The setting itself is idyllic - lush green grass underfoot, vibrant leaves adorning the trees above, creating a picturesque backdrop for this timeless activity. A basket brimming with freshly picked apples sits nearby while a sack leans against one of the sturdy trunks. This photograph captures not just a simple task but also portrays values like intergenerational connection, respect for tradition, and appreciation for nature's gifts. It reminds us of simpler times when people found solace in working alongside one another outdoors. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's esteemed collection, this remarkable image serves as a gentle reminder of our rich heritage and offers inspiration to cherish life's simplest pleasures – be it gathering apples or relishing moments spent in good company.
