EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection, titled "West Grinstead Ploughing Match - about September 1938" transports us back to a simpler time in rural West Sussex. The portrait showcases a hardworking farmer and his team of two magnificent horses, both adorned with blinkers and wearing their sturdy harnesses. The image exudes an air of authenticity and rustic charm, capturing the essence of traditional farming practices that were prevalent during this era. The farmer's weathered face tells tales of countless hours spent tilling the land, while his strong hands firmly hold onto the reins, guiding his loyal steeds through the fields. Every detail in this photograph is meticulously preserved; from the well-worn tack on the horses to the gleaming horse brasses adorning their harnesses. These small touches serve as reminders of a bygone era when craftsmanship was valued and attention to detail was paramount. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history housed at West Sussex Record Office, we are reminded of our deep connection to our agricultural roots. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress may have brought modernization but has not diminished our appreciation for these timeless scenes depicting life in rural England. Let us cherish this snapshot frozen in time, celebrating not only its historical significance but also paying homage to those who dedicated their lives to working closely with nature's bounty.
