This print takes us back to the summer of July 1939, capturing a moment in time at the White Hart in Petworth. The image showcases a skilled blacksmith diligently working on a magnificent horse's front hoof, accompanied by its attentive handler. The scene exudes an air of craftsmanship and tradition as the blacksmith expertly files away with his trusty rasp, ensuring that the horse's shoe fits perfectly. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the world of farriers and their essential role in maintaining equine health during this era. Part of the esteemed George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph is not just an archival piece but also serves as a testament to our rich history and heritage.
