EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the idyllic countryside of Strood, West Sussex, in August 1933. The image showcases a field of linseed being meticulously cut by two majestic shire horses pulling the mowing equipment. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of farmers during this era. The scene exudes tranquility as the horses move gracefully through the golden field, their strength and elegance perfectly complementing each other. The sun casts long shadows across the landscape, adding depth and texture to the composition. The George Garland Collection has preserved this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of rural life but also gain insight into agricultural practices of that time. This particular photo captures an essential aspect of farming - harvesting linseed - which was widely cultivated for its valuable oil used in various industries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, it serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and how generations before us relied on their land for sustenance and livelihoods. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past, appreciating both the simplicity and complexity that defined rural life in West Sussex during the 1930s.
