EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the charming village of Cadgwith in Cornwall, circa 1908. Standing proudly amidst a picturesque landscape is a thatched cottage, now affectionately known as the Kiddlywink. This historical gem holds within its walls an intriguing secret - beneath it lies the remnants of an old pilchard cellar, whispering tales of a bygone era. In this snapshot frozen in time, two men engage in conversation just outside the cottage's entrance. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of Edwardian Cornwall; their hats adding a touch of elegance to their rugged appearance. One man diligently sharpens his sickles on a whetstone, preparing for another day's laborious work ahead. The photographer behind this remarkable image is none other than Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye captured not only the physical beauty but also the essence of life in rural Cornwall during this period. His attention to detail allows us to glimpse into a world where simplicity and hard work were valued virtues. Today, these two cottages have merged into one unified structure but continue to stand as a testament to Cadgwith's rich history and architectural heritage. As we admire this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back in time and connect with our ancestors who once called these quaint dwellings home.
