EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait of boy and girl, Chacewater, Cornwall. 1911" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the lives of two young souls from a bygone era. Taken in 1911 by the talented photographer Samuel John Govier, this intimate portrait captures the innocence and curiosity that define childhood. The setting is Chacewater, a quaint village nestled in the picturesque region of Cornwall. The boy and girl stand side by side, their eyes filled with wonder as they gaze into the camera lens. Their Victorian attire reflects the fashion trends of that time – delicate lace collars adorn their outfits while their hair is neatly combed. One cannot help but be drawn to their expressions; there is an undeniable bond between them. Perhaps they are siblings or close friends exploring life's adventures together. Their youthful faces radiate joy and anticipation for what lies ahead. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experience across generations. It transports us back to simpler times when children found joy in simple pleasures like exploring nature or playing games outdoors. This print not only showcases Govier's exceptional skill behind the lens but also preserves a precious moment frozen in time – an enduring testament to love, friendship, and timeless beauty captured within one frame.
