EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The scene unfolds at a turf face, where the land meets the water's edge, and the simple yet labor-intensive process of turf cutting is underway. Two young boys, dressed in ragged clothing typical of the era, work side by side, each pushing a turf barrow. One boy is focused on the task at hand, using a long-handled tool to cut the turf from the bog, while the other looks up, perhaps taking a break or offering a helping hand. A woman, dressed in a long skirt and apron, stands nearby, her expression one of quiet determination as she oversees the boys' efforts. The turf, a valuable resource for fuel and heating in rural communities, is cut in thin slices and left to dry before being stacked and used throughout the year. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the connection between people and the land was deeply rooted and the simple act of cutting turf was a vital part of daily life.
