1930s Christmas Country Cute Farmer Fence Machinery Market Rural Shepherd Trilby Wool Xmas Caps Tails
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Pulborough Fat Stock Show in December 1933. The image showcases a row of sheep, their fluffy wool glistening under the winter sun. It is a snapshot from the George Garland Collection, preserved at the West Sussex Record Office. The scene exudes rural charm, with a quaint wooden fence serving as a backdrop for these adorable creatures. A shepherd stands nearby, his trilby hat adding an air of timeless elegance to this countryside tableau. In the distance, old vehicles and machinery hint at the agricultural traditions that have shaped this community. As Christmas approaches, one can imagine farmers and market-goers gathering here to celebrate both the holiday season and their livestock's achievements. The festive spirit permeates through every detail captured in this photograph – from caps worn by onlookers to tails wagging excitedly amidst all the commotion. This print not only offers a glimpse into life in rural West Sussex during the 1930s but also serves as a testament to our enduring connection with nature and tradition. It reminds us of simpler times when communities would come together to showcase their hard work and share in each other's joy
