EDITORS COMMENTS
An Irish Harvesters Dinner: A Moment of Respite in County Antrim, Northern Ireland (circa early 1900s) This evocative image captures a poignant moment in the daily life of an Irish harvester, likely in the picturesque County Antrim region of Northern Ireland. The old woman, dressed in traditional clothing, takes a break from her laborious work in the fields to enjoy a simple yet nourishing meal. Surrounded by the bounty of the harvest, she lies against a corn stack, her weary body at ease. The table before her is set with a humble spread: a plate piled high with potatoes, a staple food in the Irish diet, and a jug of buttermilk, a common accompaniment to the hearty tubers. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and contentment, a brief respite from the backbreaking labor of the harvest season. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural life of early 20th century Ireland. The rustic setting, the simple meal, and the worn, weathered appearance of the woman all contribute to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the connection between the land, the people, and the food that sustains them.
