EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1970s, showcases Jan Fennell, a young woman proudly wearing traditional Cornish costume, surrounded by a vibrant display of corn dollies in a grassy area. Cornwall, located in the southwest of England, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, and this image beautifully encapsulates the region's unique customs and traditions. Jan's costume, featuring a tartan material dress and intricate textile patterns, is reminiscent of the region's Celtic roots. The Cornish people have a long-standing connection to the land, and their traditional attire reflects the area's rural history. The grassy setting further emphasizes the connection between the people and the land, with the woman appearing at one with nature. Corn dollies, a symbol of Cornish folklore and harvest festivities, add to the scene's charm. These intricately woven figures, made from dried corn husks, represent the corn spirit and are believed to bring good fortune and fertility to the land. The display of corn dollies in the photograph not only adds to the visual appeal but also highlights the importance of the agricultural traditions in Cornwall. This photograph, with its authentic representation of Cornish culture and traditions, transports us back in time to an era when the connection between people and the land was deeply rooted. Jan Fennell's warm smile and the vibrant display of corn dollies make for a truly enchanting image that celebrates the rich heritage of Cornwall.
