EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland collection takes us back to a simpler time in Tillington, West Sussex. It beautifully captures the essence of rural life in October 1934, as we witness the Young family diligently bagging up potatoes in their bountiful field. In this snapshot of history, a young girl stands amidst furrows with her trusty basket by her side. With determination etched on her face, she carefully selects each potato and places it into a sack held open by her toddler sibling seated comfortably in a push chair nearby. The children's involvement showcases the importance of instilling hard work and responsibility at an early age. The scene is filled with rustic charm as other siblings can be seen carrying buckets brimming with freshly dug potatoes towards the sacks. The air is thick with anticipation as these precious tubers are gathered for storage or sale. This image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between humans and nature that was once prevalent in our agricultural communities. It transports us to an era where manual labor was essential for survival, yet families found joy and fulfillment working together under vast skies. Preserved within this historical photograph lies not just memories but also lessons about resilience, unity, and appreciation for our land's abundance.
