EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1931, capturing a serene moment on the river Arun in Bury, West Sussex. The focus of the image is a ferryman and his wife gracefully crossing the tranquil waters, their boat gliding effortlessly against the backdrop of lush green downs. The composition beautifully portrays a sense of simplicity and harmony with nature. The boatman's weathered face reflects years of experience navigating these waters while his wife exudes an air of quiet confidence as she assists him in steering their vessel. Their connection is palpable, showcasing a partnership built on trust and shared experiences. The river bank frames this scene perfectly, adorned with wildflowers that add splashes of color to an otherwise monochromatic landscape. One can almost hear the gentle lapping of water against the boat's hull as it cuts through its mirrored surface. George Garland's skillful photography captures not only a fleeting moment but also preserves a slice of history for future generations to appreciate. This remarkable image from West Sussex County Council's Garland Collection serves as both artistry and documentation, transporting viewers back to simpler times when life revolved around riverside communities like Bury. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are reminded that amidst our fast-paced modern lives, there is still beauty in simplicity – where man and nature coexist harmoniously along riverbanks etched into our collective memory.
