EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Harvesting, children helping" we are transported back to the year 1929 on a Frog Farm in Petworth. Photographer George Garland skillfully captures a poignant moment of rural life, showcasing the invaluable contribution of children in agriculture. The image portrays a scene filled with youthful energy and determination. A group of children can be seen eagerly assisting in the harvest, their small hands diligently working alongside adults. Their faces radiate both concentration and joy as they gather stooks – bundles of cut grain stalks – symbolizing an abundant yield. This photograph not only highlights the vital role played by young ones during harvesting season but also offers us a glimpse into the simpler times when communities relied heavily on manual labor for sustenance. It serves as a reminder that even at such tender ages, these children were taught responsibility and hard work from an early age. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable snapshot provides us with a window into our agricultural heritage. As we admire this timeless piece captured almost a century ago, let it serve as inspiration to appreciate our connection to nature's bounty and acknowledge those who have dedicated themselves to cultivating it throughout history.
