EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1892 transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Mevagissey, Cornwall. The image showcases a team of eight mighty oxen diligently ploughing the fertile fields at Bodrugan Farm. As we gaze upon this historic scene captured by photographer Samuel John Govier, we are reminded of the enduring traditions and hard work that shaped Cornish farming. The oxen stand tall and proud, their immense strength evident as they effortlessly pull the heavy plough through the rich earth. Their yokes rest comfortably on their broad shoulders, a testament to their partnership with humans throughout centuries of agricultural practices. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when these gentle giants were essential for tilling the land before modern machinery took over. Mevagissey's idyllic landscape serves as a stunning backdrop for this rustic tableau. Rolling hills stretch out towards the horizon while quaint farm buildings dot the countryside. The soft sunlight casts long shadows across the field, adding depth and texture to Govier's masterful composition. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to Cornwall's deep-rooted connection with its agricultural heritage. It reminds us of how generations past relied on nature's bounties and worked harmoniously with animals like these oxen to sustain themselves and their communities. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back
