EDITORS COMMENTS
An intriguing fusion of the old and the new: a man and his team of horses diligently ploughing a field in Weybridge, Surrey, are interrupted by the unexpected sight of a primitive aeroplane flying overhead. The plane, a testament to the early days of aviation, boasts two bicycle-type wheels on its undercarriage and an open upper body, exposing the pilots to the outside air. The contrast between the traditional farming methods and the groundbreaking invention could not be more stark. The year is 1911, and the world is on the brink of a technological revolution. The aeroplane, a marvel of engineering, represents the future of transportation and travel. Yet, in the rural countryside, the ploughman and his team continue their laborious work, harnessed to their horses, oblivious to the newfound freedom and speed that the plane embodies. The tail fin of the plane cuts through the clear blue sky as the pilots bravely face the elements, their bodies unprotected by a cockpit. The image captures a moment in history, where the past and the future collide, and the simple pleasures of rural life intertwine with the excitement of new technological discoveries. The horses, the plough, and the primitive aeroplane, all working in harmony, create a scene that is both historical and agricultural, a snapshot of a bygone era.
