EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from February 1930, we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming scene of rural life. The image showcases a young girl diligently milking a cow, her petite figure juxtaposed against the majestic animal. This remarkable piece belongs to the George Garland Collection and is preserved at the West Sussex Record Office. The photograph captures every detail with precision - from the sturdy wooden stool on which she sits, to the pail collecting fresh milk and the straw scattered beneath her feet. Despite being engaged in hard work, there is an undeniable sense of tranquility surrounding her as she focuses on her task. Her raincoat suggests that it might have been a damp day when this snapshot was taken; however, it does not deter her dedication towards completing her chores. A simple hairband holds back strands of hair that escape from under her cap, emphasizing both youthfulness and determination. This timeless image serves as a reminder of simpler times when dairy farming played an essential role in sustaining communities. It encapsulates not only the laborious nature of farm work but also highlights the bond between humans and animals. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we cannot help but appreciate its authenticity and significance in preserving our agricultural heritage for generations to come.
