EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in Irish history, showcasing a young girl carrying turf in baskets strapped to a donkey. The image, taken in 1871, provides a glimpse into the traditional industry of peat harvesting in Ireland.
The girl's determined expression and the donkey's sturdy stance convey the hard work and resilience required for this laborious task. The baskets filled with peat symbolize the importance of this natural resource as fuel for heating and cooking in rural Ireland during that time period.
Through this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era where manual labor was essential for survival. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Ireland, where traditions such as turf cutting have been passed down through generations.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of life in rural Ireland over a century ago. This print is not just a visual representation but also an invaluable piece of historical documentation that sheds light on the industry and way of life prevalent at that time.
