EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Findon Sheep Fair in 1931. The image showcases a humble shepherd, adorned in his traditional smock, standing amidst a rustic countryside setting. With his weathered face and wise eyes, he exudes a sense of character and wisdom that can only be gained through years of tending to flocks. The shepherd's trusty sheepdog stands faithfully by his side, ready to assist him in guiding the woolly companions grazing peacefully nearby. Behind them, a charming wattle fence adds an authentic touch to this nostalgic scene from rural England. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when life was simpler yet filled with hard work and dedication. The pen strokes used to create this print beautifully capture every detail - from the texture of the shepherd's smock to the intricate design of his crook. This print is not just an ordinary piece; it is a window into history that allows us to reflect on our agricultural roots and appreciate the bond between man and nature. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while evoking feelings of nostalgia for days gone by. With its timeless appeal and undeniable charm, this photograph captures both the essence of rural life in the 1930s and our enduring fascination with it.
