EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the idyllic countryside of West Wittering in July 1939. The image showcases a hardworking farmer, perched proudly on his Allis Chalmers Model B Tractor, fitted with a pick-up plough. The simplicity of this machine is evident as it effortlessly tills the fertile soil, leaving behind neat furrows ready for planting. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, where agriculture was still reliant on human skill and machinery working in harmony. The farmer's weathered face reflects years of dedication to his craft, while the tractor stands as a testament to innovation within farming practices during that era. As we delve into the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, we are transported back to an era when farming was not just a profession but a way of life. This particular image bears witness to the resilience and resourcefulness of farmers who tirelessly worked their land despite challenging circumstances. The Allis Chalmers Plough serves as both symbol and tool - representing not only progress within agriculture but also embodying the spirit of rural communities coming together to ensure bountiful harvests year after year. Preserved for posterity by West Sussex County Council, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into our agricultural heritage – reminding us all of the importance and significance that farming holds within our society.
