EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from around 1890 showcases the idyllic charm of rural Cornwall. The scene depicts a picturesque farmhouse and its accompanying outbuildings nestled in the quaint village of Blackwater, Mithian. A horse-drawn trap stands proudly in front, hinting at a bygone era when horsepower was still relied upon for transportation. A group of people, perhaps family or farm workers, gather outside the farmhouse, adding life to the serene setting. Among them are women dressed in traditional Cornish attire, their presence highlighting the integral role they played in farming communities during this time. Fast forward to 1982, and we learn that this historic house had been renamed "The Highlands" while retaining its timeless beauty. Situated along the St Agnes road near Blackwater (coordinates SW 742 465), it continues to be an enduring symbol of Cornwall's rich agricultural heritage. Part of the esteemed A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection housed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the hard work and resilience of Cornish farmers throughout history
