EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "They call this rolling in Spain" we are transported back to the picturesque countryside of Costa Brava, Spain in September 1959. The image captures a timeless scene of traditional farming practices that have been passed down through generations. A hardworking farmer stands proudly beside his trusty horse and cart, ready to embark on an essential task - flattening the ground after planting potatoes. With reins in one hand and holding onto the horse's tail with the other, he guides the majestic animal through the field with expertise and precision. The horses' strength is harnessed as they pull a wooden roller behind them, effortlessly smoothing out any unevenness left by plowing. This age-old technique not only prepares the soil for optimal growth but also showcases the harmonious relationship between man, beast, and nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from rural life in 1950s Spain, we can't help but marvel at its simplicity and authenticity. It serves as a reminder of how agriculture once relied heavily on manual labor and close connection with animals to sustain communities. This photograph by Nature encapsulates both nostalgia for a bygone era and admiration for those who dedicated their lives to cultivating our land. It invites us to reflect on our modern agricultural practices while appreciating the rich history that has shaped our present-day methods.
