EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from 1959, showcasing two working class men in flat caps diligently building a dry stone wall together in Galashiel, Selkirkshire, Scotland. The men are focused on their task at hand, hammering and breaking stones to construct the sturdy wall that stands as a testament to their hard work and craftsmanship.
The historical significance of this image is palpable, offering a glimpse into the traditional methods of construction used in Scotland during the 1950s. The rugged landscape serves as the backdrop for this scene of manual labor and skillful building techniques.
As one man holds a hammer and chisel ready to shape the stones, the other carefully places them in position with precision and care. Their teamwork is evident as they work harmoniously to create a lasting structure that will withstand the test of time.
The flat caps worn by these men are emblematic of their working class roots, adding an authentic touch to this snapshot of Scottish history. This print not only documents a specific moment in time but also celebrates the resilience and dedication of those who built Scotland's iconic dry stone walls.
