EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait captured by Henry Guttmann, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century in County Kerry, Ireland. The photograph titled "Working Family (circa 1890: Collecting peat In the Killarney countryside)" portrays a scene of resilience and unity amidst challenging circumstances. At the forefront of the image stands a barefooted mother, her face etched with determination as she carries a heavy basket on her back. Her weathered hands speak volumes about the hardships she has endured. Seated at her feet are her young children, their innocent faces reflecting both curiosity and admiration for their strong-willed mother. The backdrop of the Killarney countryside adds an air of tranquility to this otherwise arduous task. Peat collection was an essential part of survival during that era, providing fuel for warmth and cooking. This family's commitment to working together showcases their unwavering bond and shared responsibility. Henry Guttmann's skilled use of photography enhances the timeless quality of this image, capturing not only a moment frozen in time but also evoking emotions that transcend generations. It serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' tenacity in overcoming adversity while highlighting the enduring strength found within familial connections. This print is not just a historical artifact; it is an homage to hardworking families who have shaped our world through perseverance and love.
