EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from February 1938, we are transported back in time to a rural countryside scene. A young girl takes center stage as she confidently leads two majestic horses and a cart through a muddy field. The image captures the essence of winter with puddles reflecting the cloudy sky above. Dressed in a raincoat and donning wellington boots, the girl fearlessly navigates the challenging terrain. The atmosphere is palpable - you can almost feel the crispness of the air and hear the rhythmic sound of hooves splashing through mud. These magnificent shire horses, harnessed to their sturdy cart, epitomize strength and grace as they obediently follow their young leader's guidance. This photograph is part of George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: Garland N16395. It serves as an invaluable historical document that offers us a glimpse into life in rural West Sussex during the 1930s. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of simpler days when hard work was intertwined with nature's elements. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era where reliance on horsepower was still prevalent before modern machinery took over. Let this enchanting image transport you back to an era where resilience met beauty amidst muddy fields and determined spirits led by youthful hands.
