EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1908, we are transported back in time to witness a delightful moment captured in Gwennap, Cornwall. The image showcases the renowned Frogpool choir on an enchanting outing, their voices harmonizing with the picturesque surroundings. As our gaze is drawn towards the center of the frame, we find ourselves captivated by an open horse-drawn bus that carries these talented individuals. Their faces radiate joy and camaraderie as they embark on this memorable journey together. The rhythmic clip-clop of hooves against cobblestone streets fills the air, blending seamlessly with their melodious laughter. To the left of this vibrant scene stands Frogpool chapel, its humble presence serving as a gentle reminder of faith and community ties. Its weathered exterior bears witness to countless prayers uttered within its walls over generations past. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is none other than Samuel John Govier - his keen eye for detail effortlessly capturing both human connection and architectural beauty in a single frame. This photograph transports us to a simpler era where horses were trusted companions and communal singing was cherished entertainment.
