EDITORS COMMENTS
A Girl with Peat Cart, Shetland Islands, March 1939 This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life on the Shetland Islands during the 1930s. The image features a young girl, dressed in a warm coat and scarf, standing next to a traditional peat cart and horse. The peat cart, drawn by a strong and sturdy horse, is filled to the brim with the harvested peat, which was a vital fuel source for heating homes and cooking meals in the harsh Shetland climate. The girl, with her rosy cheeks and determined expression, embodies the resilience and hardiness of the Shetland people. The landscape in the background is barren and rugged, with rolling hills and rocky terrain, reflecting the challenging living conditions on the islands. The sky above is overcast, hinting at the unpredictable and often inclement weather that the community had to endure. Peat cutting and carting was a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, requiring a great deal of physical strength and perseverance. The girl's presence in the photograph underscores the essential role that women and children played in the daily life and industry of the Shetland Islands. Despite the hardships, the community's connection to the land and their traditional way of life remained strong. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and unique culture of the Shetland Islands, and the resourcefulness and determination of the people who called it home during the 1930s.
