EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported to Gwennap, Cornwall. The image showcases a serene moment captured by photographer Samuel John Govier, featuring a woman engrossed in her reading while seated next to a pot of exquisite Arum lilies. It is believed that this tranquil scene may have unfolded at Trevince House. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and elegance as the woman finds solace amidst the beauty of nature. Bathed in soft sunlight filtering through nearby windows, she appears completely absorbed in her book, oblivious to the world around her. The delicate white petals of the Arum lilies provide a gentle contrast against her dark attire and add an ethereal touch to the overall ambiance. This photograph serves as a testament to both Govier's artistic eye and his ability to capture fleeting moments frozen in time. It invites us into a bygone era when life seemed simpler yet no less enchanting. As we gaze upon this print displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, we can almost hear whispers from history echoing through its frame. While it remains unclear whether this image was intended for commercial use or simply preserved for personal enjoyment, what is certain is its power to transport us back in time and evoke emotions within our hearts. Through this snapshot of Gwennap's past, we are reminded of the enduring allure found within literature and how even amidst life's hustle and bustle, one can always find solace among nature's delicate treasures like
