EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Sussex Rustic, [Jan. 1925]" takes us back in time to the picturesque countryside of West Sussex. The image showcases a man, identified as William Sheppard, who epitomizes the essence of rural life during that era. Dressed in a traditional smock and donning a wide-brimmed hat, he exudes an air of authenticity and simplicity. In his hand rests a sturdy stick, perhaps serving both practical and symbolic purposes - a tool for traversing the rugged terrain while also representing his connection to nature. As he gazes into the distance with an enigmatic expression on his face, one can't help but wonder about the thoughts running through his mind. Completing this rustic scene is the presence of an old-fashioned pipe clenched between Sheppard's teeth. A symbol of relaxation and contemplation, it adds another layer to this evocative portrait. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us a glimpse into bygone times when life was simpler yet filled with its own challenges and joys. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to reflect upon how much has changed since that wintry day in January 1925
