EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the idyllic countryside of Soanes Farm in Petworth, West Sussex, during the serene month of March in 1939. The image showcases a picturesque scene that epitomizes rural beauty and simplicity. In this snapshot from the George Garland Collection at the West Sussex Record Office, we witness a mesmerizing sight: two majestic luff and plough horses gracefully ambling along a narrow lane. Their handler walks alongside them, exuding an air of expertise and familiarity with these magnificent creatures. As our gaze wanders beyond the horses and their handler, we are greeted by the presence of a splendid old tree standing tall against the backdrop of rolling hills. Its gnarled branches reach out as if embracing nature's harmony within this timeless landscape. The photograph encapsulates an era when farming was still predominantly reliant on traditional methods. It serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when horse-drawn ploughs were an integral part of agricultural life. Preserved for posterity by West Sussex County Council, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating the enduring charm of rural England. It invites us to reflect upon our connection with nature and appreciate how time-honored traditions have shaped our landscapes throughout generations
