EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a charming scene on Main Street in Probus, Cornwall. The view looks westward from the St Austell side of the square, offering a glimpse into daily life during this era. In the center of the photograph stands a diverse group of individuals, each with their own story to tell. A young girl playfully poses with her hoop, exuding innocence and joy amidst the bustling street. Standing beside her is an elegantly dressed lady, radiating sophistication and grace. Their presence adds a touch of refinement to this otherwise ordinary setting. Meanwhile, several working men strike a pose for Samuel John Govier's camera lens. Perhaps they are taking a break from their laborious tasks or simply seizing an opportunity to be immortalized in this momentous image. Intriguingly positioned behind these figures is a family group whose expressions hint at stories untold. What were their lives like? What dreams did they hold dear? This photograph leaves much room for speculation and invites us to imagine their narratives within its frame. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable piece offers not only historical value but also serves as an important reminder of our shared heritage. It allows us to connect with those who walked these streets before us and encourages reflection on how times have changed since then.
