EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in the idyllic Cotswold village of Draycott during the 1910s. The young woman in the image, Edith Hodgkins (later Mrs. Brown), is depicted in traditional milkmaid attire, complete with a white blouse, apron, bonnet, and pails in hand. Her expression is one of contentment and determination as she goes about her daily chores. The scene is set in the picturesque Cotswold countryside, with its rolling hills, stone cottages, and lush greenery providing a beautiful backdrop. The use of natural light and the subtle textures of Edith's clothing add depth and character to the image. The milkmaid's role was an essential one in rural communities, as she collected milk from farms and delivered it to households in the village. The long chains attached to the pails allowed her to carry multiple containers at once, making her rounds more efficient. Despite the hard work and long hours, the milkmaid's role was an honored one, as it provided a vital service to the community and allowed women like Edith to contribute to the local economy. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, one where the rhythms of rural life were dictated by the changing seasons and the daily needs of the community.
