EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Rush Gatherers, 1878,' captures a moment in time as three children embark on a mission to gather rushes from the mere for the production of seats for chairs and various baskets. The idyllic scene is set in a tranquil body of water, with a small rowing boat serving as their mode of transportation. The eldest child, a boy, holds a sickle in his hand, ready to expertly cut the necessary length of rushes. His younger siblings, a girl and a dog, join him in the boat, adding to the sense of camaraderie and shared industry. The children's attire reflects the era, with the boy wearing a collared shirt, trousers, and a cap, while the girl dons a simple dress and a bonnet. The dog, a faithful companion, completes the picture, adding to the charm and authenticity of the scene. Rush gathering was a common occupation in rural communities during the late 19th century, providing a valuable source of income and raw materials for various industries. The rushes, or reeds, were used to create the seats for chairs and a variety of baskets, making this a crucial industry for many families. This photograph, taken in 1878, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simplicity and hard work that was once a part of daily life. The children's determination and focus, as they set out on their journey, serve as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of earlier generations. The peaceful setting, with the reflection of the trees on the water and the gentle ripple of the waves, adds to the timeless beauty of the scene.
