EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of daily life in the Shetland Islands during the 1910s. A local woman, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully balances a large wicker backpack basket filled with turves of peat on her back. The peat, a valuable fuel source for heating homes and cooking, is carefully harvested from the boggy terrain and carried long distances to be used by farmers and their families. Despite the heavy load, the determined woman continues her work, her nimble fingers deftly maneuvering knitting needles and wool as she walks. The intricate pattern of her knitting project unfolds before her, a testament to her unwavering dedication and creativity. The scene is further enhanced by the lush, green landscape and the straw hat perched atop her head, shielding her from the elements. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the Shetland Islanders as they navigated the challenges of rural life. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of community, self-sufficiency, and the simple pleasures of knitting, even amidst the hard labor of peat carrying.
