EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in County Antrim, Northern Ireland during the early 1900s. Two young children, bundled up against the cold, make their way home along a winding rural road with the help of a donkey and slide cart filled to the brim with turf. The donkey, with its patient expression, pulls the cart effortlessly, its harness glinting in the sunlight. The children, their faces filled with determination and excitement, cling to the sides of the cart, their small hands gripping the ropes that guide the donkey. The turf, essential for heating homes during the colder months, is piled high in the cart, its brown hue a stark contrast against the lush green landscape. The scene is one of simple, hardworking life in the countryside, where the natural beauty of the land is both a source of sustenance and a backdrop to daily life. The image, taken in the picturesque Glenariff area, is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who lived and worked in this region over a century ago.
