Carneddog and his wife, Catrin, before leaving their mountain farm in Snowdonia

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

  • Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:
    The image of the farmer-poet Carneddog and his wife, Catrin, who were forced to leave their farm in the Carneddau Mountains due to the death of one of their sons, is Geoff Charles’ most recognised work, and one of the most well-known 20th century Welsh images. Being too old to look after the farm themselves, Richard and Catrin Griffith left the home that had been in their family for centuries in September 1945 to live with another son in the English midlands.

Wooden spoons and baskets made by Richard Lewis of Carno

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

  • Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:
    The traditional Welsh craft of basket weaving could have been an useful hobby to keep people occupied during blackouts. Richard Lewis of Carno demonstrated how he made these baskets, as well as wooden spoons and even potato-mashers by hand in January 1940.
