EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Shepherd in Smock, c1931" transports us back to the rural landscapes of West Sussex in the early 1930s. The image, part of the George Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office, captures a timeless scene filled with nostalgia and rustic charm. In this photograph, we see an elderly shepherd donning his traditional smock as he leans on his trusty crook. His weathered face tells tales of a life spent tending to sheep and navigating the rugged countryside. With a pipe clenched between his teeth, wisps of smoke curling upwards into the air, he exudes wisdom and character. The simplicity of this image evokes a sense of tranquility that can only be found in nature's embrace. The old man stands amidst rolling hills dotted with fluffy white sheep grazing peacefully nearby. It is as if time has stood still for this moment captured by Garland's lens. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another era, it serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to the land and its inhabitants. It invites us to reflect on simpler times when life moved at a slower pace and people lived in harmony with their surroundings. This remarkable photograph encapsulates not just one man's story but also represents an entire way of life that has since evolved. Its preservation within West Sussex County Council's archives ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from these glimpses into our shared history.
