EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1916 but published in 1935, showcases the remarkable role of women during World War I. Titled "Women as farriers in the horse hospital of a big firm of haulage contractors" it offers a glimpse into an often overlooked aspect of wartime labor. The image captures three determined women working diligently outdoors at a horse hospital. Dressed in traditional attire with caps on their heads, these skilled farriers are seen bending forward to tend to the horses' hooves. With tools such as pliers and horseshoes at hand, they exhibit expertise and dedication to their craft. Their presence challenges gender norms prevalent during that era, highlighting the significant contributions made by women during times of conflict. The sepia-toned print evokes a sense of nostalgia for this pivotal period in history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and chaos, individuals continued to carry out their duties with unwavering commitment. Published under His Majesty The King's reign from 1910-1935 by Associated Newspapers Ltd. , this portrait is not just an ordinary photograph; it represents resilience, strength, and determination against all odds. As we gaze upon these courageous women at work, we are reminded of their invaluable role within society – breaking barriers while caring for animals crucial to transportation and logistics during wartime. This thought-provoking image captured by The Print Collector29 invites us to reflect on the countless untold stories behind each person who played an essential part in
