Drought at Huish Episcopi, near Langport, Somerset. June 1934
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment in history when the relentless grip of drought plagued the picturesque countryside. This evocative print by H A Cooper transports us back to a scorching summer day in the 1930s. In this image, we see men gathered on an old bridge spanning over a once-gushing river that now lies barren and dry. Their faces etched with concern, they clutch buckets tightly as if holding onto hope itself. With determination etched into their brows, these resilient souls are collecting every precious drop of water they can find amidst the parched landscape. The scarcity of water is palpable; it speaks volumes about the severity of the drought that has ravaged Huish Episcopi and its surroundings. The absence of lush greenery and vibrant flora only emphasizes nature's struggle against this merciless weather phenomenon. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of humanity's resilience in times of adversity. These men symbolize not just survival but also unity as they work together to combat Mother Nature's wrath. This photograph serves as a stark reminder that even during our most challenging moments, there is always strength within communities to overcome hardships. It stands as a testament to human perseverance and our ability to adapt when faced with extreme circumstances like droughts – an enduring tale captured forever by H A Cooper's lens for generations to come.
