EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, dating back to around 1900, showcases a remarkable scene of rural life. In the frame, we are transported to an era where traditional farming methods prevailed and the harmonious relationship between man and beast was essential for survival. The focal point of this image is a pair of majestic yoked oxen, their immense strength evident in every muscle as they stand side by side. These magnificent creatures seem almost larger than life as they tower over their surroundings. A skilled driver stands proudly beside them, his weathered face reflecting years of hard work and dedication. With gentle yet firm commands, he guides these powerful animals with expertise that can only come from experience passed down through generations. It's impossible not to admire the trust and symbiotic connection shared between the driver and his loyal companions. The backdrop reveals a picturesque countryside setting - rolling hills stretching into the distance under a vast sky dotted with fluffy clouds. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when reliance on animal power was paramount in agricultural practices. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection at the West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our rich history rooted in labor-intensive farming techniques. It encapsulates both the beauty of nature's raw power and humanity's ability to harness it for progress without mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation
