EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 1800s showcases a group of hardworking farmworkers engaged in haymaking near St Buryan, Cornwall. The image transports us to a bygone era, where manual labor and traditional farming practices were at the heart of rural life. As we delve into this snapshot of history, our attention is immediately drawn to the central focus - a horsedrawn cart laden with freshly cut hay. The majestic horses stand tall and proud, their strength harnessed for the task at hand. Surrounding the cart are diligent workers who tirelessly gather and stack bales of hay. Their weathered faces tell tales of resilience and dedication as they toil under the warm Cornish sun. In the foreground lies an open mangold clamp, serving as a reminder that crop diversity was integral to sustaining livestock during those times. Amidst this scene of agricultural activity, two loyal dogs can be spotted eagerly assisting their human companions. These faithful four-legged friends exemplify the bond between man and animal that has long been cherished in rural communities. The identity of the photographer remains unknown; however, their skillful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with invaluable insights into Cornwall's rich farming heritage. This print serves as both an homage to our ancestors' unwavering work ethic and a testament to how far we have come in modern agriculture today
