EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the pyrethrum harvesting at Fittleworth, June 1937. In this picturesque countryside scene, we are transported back to an era when farming was done with sheer dedication and hard work. The image showcases an old tractor amidst a vast field adorned with beautiful flowers, signaling the arrival of summer. The rural charm is further enhanced by the presence of towering trees and rolling downs in the background. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that this photograph holds immense significance for West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collection. Preserved meticulously at the West Sussex Record Office under Ref No: Garland N15306, it serves as a testament to our agricultural heritage. The focus lies on the diligent farmer who tirelessly tends to his crop using machinery of yesteryears. His commitment to his craft shines through as he carefully harvests each pyrethrum flower - their vibrant petals contrasting against the monochrome backdrop. While it is important not to mention commercial use or any specific company associated with this image, let us appreciate how this picture encapsulates both nostalgia and admiration for those who have dedicated their lives to working on these idyllic lands. It reminds us of simpler times when nature's bounty was cherished and celebrated in harmony with man-made tools.
