EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image shows a man standing next to a horse-drawn spokes wheel car, its large wooden wheels adorned with intricate spokes that give the vehicle its name. The car, which appears to be in good condition, is an essential means of transportation for the man and his family. The scene is set outside a quaint thatched cottage, its ivy-covered walls and thatched roof typical of the traditional Irish farmhouses of the time. The family, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, peek out of the doorway, their curious expressions hinting at their fascination with the visitor and his vehicle. The peaceful rural setting is a stark contrast to the rapid industrialization and urbanization that was taking place during this era. The horse-drawn cart represents a simpler way of life, one that was soon to be replaced by more modern modes of transportation. The Spoke Wheel Car, Glynns of Antrim, is a poignant reminder of the past, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and families relied on the land and their animals for their livelihoods. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of rural families in County Antrim during the early 1900s, a time that is now long gone but not forgotten.
