EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Grace Robertson takes us back to a momentous day on August 11th, 1951. In the heart of Snowdonia, Wales, sheep-dipping during the shearing season was captured with remarkable artistry. The portrait format adds an unusual touch to this stunning image. The angle chosen by Robertson allows us to witness a unique sight - a group of sheep gracefully swimming in crystal-clear water. With their woolly coats glistening under the sunlight, these animals exude both strength and vulnerability as they navigate through the refreshing depths. Hafod-y-Llan's picturesque landscape serves as an idyllic backdrop for this timeless scene. As we delve deeper into Welsh rural life, it becomes evident that sheep farming is not only an essential part of agriculture but also deeply ingrained in local culture. Robertson's masterful composition highlights the harmonious relationship between humans and animals. Although no people are present in this frame, their presence can be felt through the meticulous care given to each animal during this traditional practice. As we gaze upon this archival photograph, we are transported back to a simpler time when nature dictated daily routines and hard work was intertwined with moments of tranquility. It reminds us of our connection with animals and how they have shaped our history for centuries. This extraordinary piece captures not only a specific moment but also encapsulates
