EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Petworth Ploughing Match held in October 1928, beautifully captured by photographer George Garland. The image showcases the essence of rural life in West Sussex during that era, highlighting the importance of farming and agriculture within the community. The scene depicts a picturesque countryside landscape adorned with rolling hills and vast fields. A team of powerful horses, their muscles glistening under the sunlight, are seen pulling a traditional plough through the fertile earth. The skillful farmers guiding them demonstrate an unwavering dedication to their craft. One cannot help but be drawn to the intricate details showcased in this photograph. The horses' harnesses are embellished with ornate horse brasses, reflecting both functionality and tradition. These decorative pieces were believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits – a testament to the superstitions prevalent among farmers at that time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how vital agriculture was for sustaining communities like Petworth. It serves as a reminder of our roots and pays homage to those who worked tirelessly on these lands. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Garland Collection, this remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where hard work met nature's bounty. Let it serve as an inspiration for future generations to appreciate our agricultural heritage while cherishing our connection with nature's rhythms.
