EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a simpler time in Kea, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of women gathered outside a charming cottage in Calenick, their presence exuding an air of camaraderie and warmth. Two of the ladies have adorned themselves with pristine white aprons for this special occasion, perhaps aware that they are about to be immortalized by the lens of renowned photographer Ernest Chegwidden. As our gaze explores the scene further, we cannot help but notice the exquisite lace curtains adorning the windows behind them. These delicate details add a touch of elegance to this humble abode nestled within Cornish countryside. The women's attire reflects both practicality and style - hats perched gracefully atop their heads, jackets tailored neatly over their shoulders, and skirts flowing gently around their legs. The photograph hints at life on the Cornish Daubuz Killiow Estate as it captures these women amidst serene surroundings. A tranquil river meanders through Kenwyn, providing a picturesque backdrop for this snapshot frozen in time. While we can only speculate about the purpose or context behind this gathering, one thing is certain: this print offers us a glimpse into history and invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
