EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Sussex Show in Cowdray, 1938. The lens of renowned photographer George Garland has perfectly captured a moment that encapsulates the essence of rural life in West Sussex during this era. In the foreground, we see a group of farmers attentively observing as an expert judge evaluates a magnificent cow. Their weathered faces reflect years of hard work and dedication to their craft, embodying the spirit of resilience that defines agricultural communities. Surrounding them are other participants eagerly awaiting their turn for judgment, showcasing an array of livestock including pigs and sheep. The scene is brimming with nostalgia as it transports us to a time when these shows were not only important events for farmers but also social gatherings where neighbors would come together to celebrate their shared passion for agriculture. The image exudes authenticity and offers a glimpse into a bygone era when farming was at its core. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within the frame tells its own story. From vintage transport vehicles parked nearby, serving as reminders of simpler times, to meticulously groomed animals proudly displayed by their owners – this photograph captures both the beauty and significance of agricultural shows. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Garland Collection, this historical gem serves as a testament to our rich farming heritage. It reminds us how vital agriculture has been in shaping our community while honoring those who have dedicated themselves tirelessly to nurturing our land throughout generations.
