EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the early 1900s in Bermondsey, Grampound, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures a picturesque view up the hill, adorned with charming Cornish houses that exude an air of timeless elegance. As our gaze travels further into the frame, we are greeted by a delightful sight - a pony and trap gracefully making its way up the road. Adding life and character to this scene are several elegantly dressed ladies who have paused for a moment to strike a pose for photographer Samuel John Govier. Their presence adds an enchanting touch of nostalgia and offers us a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of that era. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable; it transports us effortlessly back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty and tranquility of this Cornish village. It serves as a testament to Govier's skillful eye as he expertly captured both architectural details and human interaction within one frame. As we admire this print from afar, we can't help but feel grateful for these preserved moments that offer glimpses into our rich history. They remind us of how much has changed over time while also serving as poignant reminders of our shared heritage.
