EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time in the quaint fishing village of Killybegs, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland, circa early 1900s. The image portrays a horse-drawn turf cart, piled high with the precious fuel, parked on a cobblestone street. A man, dressed in traditional Irish attire, sits atop the cart, engaged in animated conversation with another man, who carries an empty creel on his back. The exchange between the two men is filled with the scent of the earthy turf and the sounds of horse hooves on the cobblestones. Turf was a vital resource for the people of Killybegs, providing heat and cooking fuel in the days before modern energy sources. The turf was cut from the bogs and transported to the village using horse-drawn carts like the one in the photograph. The men who sold the turf were an essential part of the community, and their carts were a common sight on the streets. The empty creel on the man's back suggests that he is a fisherman, perhaps stopping to purchase turf for his home. The interaction between the turf seller and the fisherman is a reminder of the interconnectedness of the various trades and industries that sustained the people of Killybegs. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of life in a bygone era, showcasing the simple pleasures and daily routines of rural Irish life. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and the role that local tradespeople played in providing for their neighbors.
