EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Fraddam, Gwinear, Cornwall, circa 1900. The image captures a quaint scene of Thomas Grocers shop with a pony and trap parked outside. It serves as a remarkable testament to the rich history and charm of this Cornish village. The composition exudes an air of simplicity and authenticity that transports us to an era long gone. The weathered exterior of the shop tells stories of countless customers who once stepped through its doors seeking provisions for their daily lives. The presence of the pony and trap adds another layer of nostalgia, reminding us of a time when horse-drawn carriages were still prevalent means of transportation. Photographer Samuel John Govier skillfully captured this moment before William Henry Varker took over the shop in 1901. Through his lens, we are able to witness not only the physical appearance but also sense the bustling atmosphere that must have surrounded this community hub. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, we cannot help but feel connected to those who lived during that period. Their hopes, dreams, struggles, and triumphs become tangible through these visual remnants from our past. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print is more than just an image; it is a portal into history itself—a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be fragments left behind for future generations to cherish and learn from.
