EDITORS COMMENTS
My Little Carthorse: A Moment of Respite at the Trough (1934) This evocative photograph captures a moment of tranquility in the daily life of working carthorses. Four strong, collared horses huddle around a worn wooden trough, their heads bent low as they drink the clear, refreshing water. Their powerful muscles ripple with exertion, a testament to the hard work they have endured throughout the day. The simple wooden trough, weathered by the elements, stands as a symbol of the basic necessities that sustained these animals in their laborious existence. The horses' collars, adorned with intricate designs and metal fittings, add a touch of elegance to their rugged appearance. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses were an integral part of daily life. The scene is reminiscent of the idyllic rural landscapes often depicted in early 20th century art and literature, where the simple pleasures of nature provided solace and sustenance. Despite the apparent peacefulness of the scene, it is important to remember that these horses were working animals, toiling long hours to transport goods and perform various tasks. Their thirst quenched, they would soon return to their duties, their powerful bodies once again putting in long hours to serve their human counterparts. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the close bond between humans and animals, and the essential role that working horses played in shaping our history. It is a poignant and beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of life, such as a drink from a trough, held great significance.
