Creels Donkey Hinge Hinged Releasing Turf Base
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative side view photograph captures the essence of rural life in Ireland during the early 1900s. The image showcases a boy and his donkey in a lush green field, with three wooden creels, each featuring a hinged base, resting nearby. The creels, a traditional method for harvesting and transporting turf for fuel, are a common sight in Irish countryside. The hinged base of the creels is a key feature in this photograph. It allows the boy to easily release the turf, which has been cut and piled inside the creels, by lifting the hinged section. The donkey, patiently waiting nearby, will then be used to transport the heavy load of turf to the next location. The natural setting of the photograph, with the rolling hills and the sun casting long shadows, adds to the sense of tranquility and simplicity of rural life during this time period. The use of black and white film further enhances the timeless quality of the image. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the close relationship between people and nature, and the importance of traditional methods in rural communities. It also highlights the importance of preserving and documenting these cultural practices for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
