EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Southdown Sheep Fair in September 1949, held in the picturesque county of Sussex. The image, part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, captures a moment frozen in time. In this bustling scene, a crowd has gathered around a charming shepherd who stands proudly amidst his flock. With their fluffy coats and endearing faces, these Southdown sheep steal the show with their undeniable cuteness. The farmer's weathered face is adorned with a wide-brimmed hat that shields him from the sun as he expertly handles a rope. The fairgrounds are alive with activity as onlookers eagerly observe this rural spectacle. Schoolboys can be seen peering over fences, captivated by the sight before them. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as farmers showcase their prized livestock for all to see. The backdrop of rolling countryside adds to the charm of this snapshot from yesteryear - an era when farming traditions thrived and communities came together to celebrate their agricultural heritage. This photograph serves as a testament to those simpler times when hard work was rewarded with bountiful wool harvests. As we gaze upon this historic scene, it transports us back to an era long gone but not forgotten - reminding us of our deep connection to nature and our shared history as stewards of the land.
