"Irish peat cutters on Achill Island County Mayo, Ireland - New use for peat. It has been found that peat makes an excellent addition in the manufacture of cattle food. Its pure and the cattle thrive on it. June 20th, 1938". This print takes us back to the rural landscapes of Achill Island in County Mayo, Ireland during the 1930s. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of hardworking Irish women with beaming smiles as they engage in their daily task of cutting peat from the bog. Donning traditional hats and equipped with baskets, these resilient women showcase their strength and determination as they gather this valuable fuel source. However, there is more to this image than meets the eye – a new discovery has transformed the purpose of peat. Unbeknownst to many at that time, it had been recently discovered that peat could also serve as an exceptional ingredient for cattle food production. With its purity and nutritional benefits, farmers quickly recognized its potential value for enhancing livestock health. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of the industrious spirit embodied by these women but also how innovation can arise from unexpected places. This image serves as a testament to human adaptability and resourcefulness while offering a glimpse into life on Achill Island during a transformative era.
