EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of deer hunting in West Sussex during February 1938. The George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, has preserved this remarkable snapshot of history for generations to come. In this picturesque countryside scene, we see a group of seasoned hunters readying themselves for an exhilarating day's pursuit. A vintage car stands proudly on a country lane, its polished exterior reflecting the early morning sunlight filtering through the trees. Beside it sits a loyal spaniel eagerly awaiting his master's command. The men are dressed in traditional britches and hats, their guns held with reverence as they prepare to embark on their noble quest. An old five-bar gate marks the entrance to the vast expanse of rolling green fields beyond - nature's playground where deer roam freely. Every detail tells a story: from the rustic fencepost that stands tall against time's relentless march to the weathered faces etched with determination and anticipation. This photograph encapsulates not only an activity but also a way of life that was deeply rooted in rural England during those simpler times. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and our enduring fascination with traditions passed down through generations.
