EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1898 takes us back to the late 19th century in Monmouth, Wales. In this remarkable image, we see a man carrying a coracle on his back, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of transportation methods during that time. The man's strength is evident as he effortlessly balances the small and lightweight boat-like craft on his shoulders. The coracle, traditionally made with a wooden frame covered in animal skin or canvas, was commonly used for fishing or transportation across water bodies. As we delve into this snapshot of history captured by Ken Welsh for "From Our Own Country" we are transported to an era where simplicity met necessity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of individuals who relied on such unconventional means of transport to navigate their surroundings. Monmouth's picturesque landscape serves as an enchanting backdrop, reminding us of the town's rich history and its close relationship with nature. This print not only showcases human resilience but also highlights our innate ability to adapt and find innovative solutions when faced with challenges. Through this image, Ken Welsh invites us to appreciate the timeless beauty found within historical moments like these – where ordinary people become extraordinary through their determination and creativity.
