EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s captures a group of men and boys gathered on a railway track, possibly along the Padstow-Wadebridge branch line in Cornwall. While it is uncertain whether these individuals are railway workers, there are intriguing elements that suggest they may be on a rabbit-snaring expedition. The presence of dogs and wire hints at their intention to catch rabbits, adding an adventurous twist to this scene. Amidst the picturesque backdrop of an estuary visible in the distance, several members of the group can be seen holding bottles of drink and baskets filled with food. This suggests that they have embarked on this outing as more than just hunters; rather, they appear to be enjoying a leisurely day out together. The photograph's Victorian charm is enhanced by the inclusion of children among the group. These young boys add an element of innocence and curiosity to the image, highlighting their eagerness to explore and participate in this unique activity. Although we cannot credit a specific photographer for capturing this moment frozen in time, its historical significance remains intact. This remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into life during those early years when railways were not only means for transportation but also served as pathways for adventure and camaraderie amidst Cornwall's stunning landscapes.
