EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1932 by the talented George Garland, transports us back to a simpler time in rural West Sussex. The image showcases a serene scene of horses drinking at a peaceful pond, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The composition is beautifully framed, capturing the graceful movement of these majestic creatures as they quench their thirst. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the image, highlighting the contours of their muscular bodies against the idyllic backdrop. It serves as a poignant reminder of the integral role that working horses played in farming during this era. George Garland's expertise behind the lens shines through in this remarkable print from his collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. His ability to capture not just an ordinary moment but also convey emotion is truly commendable. As we gaze upon this timeless snapshot, we are transported into an era where life was intimately connected with nature and its rhythms. This photograph encapsulates both the beauty and simplicity that characterized rural life in West Sussex during that period. Preserved for posterity by West Sussex County Council, this print stands as a testament to our rich agricultural heritage while serving as an exquisite piece of artistry that can be admired for generations to come.
