EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a circular stell, an ingenious enclosure designed to safeguard livestock. Taken from the revised edition of "The Book of the Farm" by Henry Stephens, a renowned Scottish farmer and agriculturalist, this illustration dates back to the 1870s but was originally published in the 1840s. In this image, we are transported to a bygone era where farming practices were vastly different from today's modern techniques. The circular stell stands proudly amidst lush green fields, serving as both a shelter and protection for valuable livestock. Hay-racks line its perimeter, providing sustenance for animals during harsh winters or inclement weather. As we delve into history through this photograph, we gain insight into traditional farming methods that shaped rural communities across Scotland and beyond. This archival gem offers us glimpses of Victorian-era agriculture with its emphasis on self-sufficiency and resourcefulness. The hay stack towering beside the stell serves as a testament to farmers' dedication in ensuring their animals' well-being throughout all seasons. It symbolizes their commitment to preserving precious resources while nurturing their livestock. With every detail captured within this frame – from the architectural structure of the stell itself to the meticulous arrangement of hay racks – we are reminded of our ancestors' ingenuity and resilience in building sustainable agricultural systems. This remarkable piece from "The Book of the Farm" allows us to appreciate not only Henry Stephens' invaluable contribution but also celebrates centuries-old farming practices that continue shaping our understanding and appreciation for agriculture
