EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Victorian era, a young Shetland girl is seen carrying a large load of peat on her back, as she makes her way across a rugged and windswept landscape. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a crofter's daughter in the remote Shetland Islands off the north coast of Scotland during the late 1800s or early 1900s. The girl wears a simple yet practical outfit, consisting of a long-sleeved blouse, a heavy woolen skirt, and a thick, knitted sweater, all in muted earth tones that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. In her hands, she holds a wicker basket filled to the brim with freshly cut peat, which she will use to fuel the fire in her family's croft, providing warmth and light in the harsh Shetland winter. Behind her, the landscape stretches out in all directions, with rolling hills, rocky outcroppings, and the vast expanse of the North Sea visible in the distance. The sky above is overcast, with heavy clouds looming ominously, hinting at the unpredictable and often inclement weather that is a hallmark of the Shetland Islands. Despite the challenging conditions, the girl's expression is determined and resilient, reflecting the strength and resourcefulness of the crofters who have lived and worked in these islands for generations. This poignant image, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of rural Scotland during the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
