EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by George Garland in July 1933, transports us back to a simpler time. The image showcases the Shepherd of Goodwood, standing tall with his trusty crook and loyal sheep dog by his side. It is a timeless depiction of the bond between man and animal, capturing the essence of rural life in West Sussex. The shepherd's weathered face tells tales of years spent tending to his flock on the picturesque grounds of Goodwood. His eyes reflect wisdom gained from countless seasons guiding sheep through rolling hills and verdant pastures. With one hand firmly grasping his crook – an essential tool for directing wayward sheep – he exudes both strength and gentleness. Beside him stands a magnificent border collie, ever watchful over its master's commands. This intelligent breed has long been revered for their herding abilities, making them indispensable companions to shepherds across generations. As we gaze at this remarkable print from the Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, we are reminded of the enduring traditions that have shaped our agricultural heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst modern advancements, there remains an inherent beauty in simplicity. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to nurturing nature's creatures. Let it serve as an inspiration for future generations to cherish our connection with animals and preserve our rich cultural history rooted in farming communities like Goodwood in West Sussex County Council.
