EDITORS COMMENTS
Bringing Home the Calacht: A Traditional Harvest Scene from Toome, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in early 20th century Northern Ireland. Taken in the picturesque village of Toome, Co. Antrim, in County Londonderry, the image depicts a group of people bringing in the calacht, or harvested corn, from the fields. At the center of the photograph, a man proudly holds a sheath of corn aloft, while a second man leads the photographer by the neck, playfully teasing him as they make their way through the field of corn stacks. Two other individuals follow behind, each carrying their own sheaths of corn. The scene is one of camaraderie and community, as the harvest season brings people together to celebrate their hard work and the bounty of the land. The location of the photograph, Toomebridge, is known for its rich agricultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. The rolling hills and verdant fields of County Londonderry have long been the lifeblood of the region, providing sustenance and income for generations of farmers and their families. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into a way of life that has largely vanished with the passage of time. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of community, tradition, and the land, and serves as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people of Northern Ireland.
