Basketwork Creels Donkey Donkeys Leading Turf
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment in time from the early 1900s in rural Ireland. Two young boys make their way along a winding country road, each leading a donkey laden with creels of freshly cut turf. The scene exudes a sense of simplicity and hard work, as the boys make their way to sell their harvested turf to local farmers or fuel for their own homes. The intricately woven basketwork creels are a testament to the boys' skill and resourcefulness. The creels, made from willow or rushes, were essential tools for transporting the turf from the bog to the roadside. The boys' connection with the land is evident, as they work in harmony with their donkeys, who patiently carry the heavy loads. The rolling hills and lush greenery in the background add to the idyllic setting, while the boys' clothing and the simple cart and creels provide a glimpse into the past. This image offers a window into a bygone era, where the rhythms of nature and the community shaped daily life. It is a poignant reminder of the resilience and ingenuity of rural communities and their deep connection to the land.
