EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a unique moment in Shoreham By Sea's rich maritime history. The image showcases a horse-drawn ballast cart immersed in the tranquil waters of Shoreham Harbour. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era when horses were not only trusted companions but also essential partners in laborious tasks. The composition is strikingly beautiful, with the calm sea providing a serene backdrop for this remarkable display of teamwork between man and beast. The horse stands proudly amidst the gentle waves, its powerful physique exuding strength and determination as it pulls the cart through the water. Edward John Bedford skillfully captures this harmonious relationship between man, animal, and nature. His lens freezes every detail - from the shimmering reflections on the water's surface to each ripple created by hooves treading through it. This photograph serves as a testament to both Bedford's artistic eye and his ability to immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost forever. As we admire this archival gem from Historic England's collection, let us reflect on how our ancestors harnessed their surroundings for practical purposes while maintaining an unbreakable bond with nature. It reminds us that progress can coexist harmoniously with preservation – a lesson worth cherishing even today.
