Farm Lad with Horse
Description
Copy of a photograph dating from the turn of the 19th/20th century, of a young farm lad with a horse at a farm in Thixendale (North Yorkshire). The horse wears a plain English collar and is harnessed for a cart, with a cart saddle on its back and britchings around its rear for it to lean into when loading the cart or holding it back when moving downhill. The horse collar is quite old looking, suggesting that it is probably borrowed. The boy wears dress typical of East Riding farm labourers, with corduroy bell-bottoms (often tied at the knee) and a double-breasted waistcoat or small jacket. (Although Thixendale is now situated in North Yorkshire, it lies close to the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding.) Mounted on Photo File card. With ms. note. Originally held in Photo File: Community Life.
