EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless scene of two old men paddling their coracles along a serene river in the 1930s. Coracles are traditional, open-topped, woven basket boats that have been used for fishing and transportation on inland waters for centuries, particularly in Wales and the border regions of England. The men, dressed in simple, practical clothing, focus intently on their paddling, their faces etched with the lines of age and experience. The coracles, with their delicate, woven frames and upturned bows, glide effortlessly through the water, leaving barely a ripple in their wake. The river, with its clear, shallow waters and lush, green banks, is a tranquil and idyllic setting for this scene of simple, rural life. The photograph transports us back in time to an era before the modern world intruded, when life was lived at a slower pace and the rhythms of nature ruled. This image is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of coracle fishing and the connection between the people of the region and their natural environment.
