Spinning wool yarn, Cliffony, Sligo, 1908-1909 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the early 20th century in Cliffony, Sligo. The image showcases a scene of domesticity and industry as a family engages in the age-old craft of spinning wool yarn. In the foreground stands a woman with an air of grace and determination, her hands deftly working on a spinning wheel. Beside her is a young child who watches intently, perhaps learning the art from their mother. Behind them looms an old cottage with its weathered walls and worn doorway—a testament to time's passage. The bearded man standing nearby adds depth to this snapshot of daily life. He oversees the process with pride and expertise while embodying the spirit of hard work that defined this era. The machinery surrounding them hints at progress within rural communities during Edwardian times. These tools brought efficiency to traditional practices like wool spinning—an essential part of Irish heritage. Through R Welch's lens, we witness not only skilled craftsmanship but also familial bonds woven together by shared labor. This monochrome print captures both tangible history and intangible emotions—reminding us that every thread spun represents more than just fabric; it symbolizes resilience, tradition, and unity. As we gaze upon this remarkable image preserved by AW Penrose's Pictorial Annual 1908-1909 collection curated by William Gamble, we are
