EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of rural life in the early 20th century, as Es Briggs, the proud owner of this horse and cart, takes a moment to rest in a lush green field in Broadstairs, Kent. The horse, adorned with a shiny brass harness and bridle, appears content as it munches on some hay, its powerful muscles rippling with each chew. Es wears a flat cap and jodhpurs, the practical attire of a seasoned horseman, while the cart's wooden shafts and wheels, with their rubber tires, add to the scene's authenticity. The peaceful scene is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of urban life, and the simple transport method reminds us of a time when horses were the primary means of transportation in the countryside. The field, dotted with wildflowers and tall grasses, stretches out in every direction, a testament to the vast expanses of rural land that once dominated the British countryside. Es Briggs, with his weathered face and calloused hands, embodies the hardworking spirit of the rural community. His connection to the land and his horse is palpable, and the photograph captures a moment of tranquility and harmony between man and animal. This image, taken at North Foreland House in Broadstairs, Kent, is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the rural communities of England.
