Osiers Stacked Ready for Basket Making, Lough Neagh
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the traditional craft of osier basket making in Northern Ireland during the early 1900s. The image showcases two men and a young boy intently working together to stack bundles of osiers, a type of willow, in preparation for the basket weaving process. Located in County Antrim, near the shores of Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in Ireland, this scene represents a long-standing rural tradition that has been passed down through generations. The men, dressed in heavy coats and hats, appear focused and determined as they carefully arrange the bundles, while the curious boy watches on, perhaps eager to learn the skills of his elders. The osiers, harvested from the surrounding wetlands, were an essential resource for the local community, providing both economic and practical benefits. The flexible and durable willow rods were used to create a wide range of baskets, from small containers to large wicker furniture, and were also employed in thatching and weaving. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of a time when the natural environment and traditional craftsmanship were deeply interconnected, and the simple act of stacking osiers was a vital part of daily life. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of rural communities and their connection to the land, as well as the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
