EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the tranquil beauty of Trevince House's garden, this print transports us back to a bygone era. Taken in August 1910 by the talented photographer Samuel John Govier, it features Mrs Wood elegantly seated amidst nature's splendor. The Cornish countryside provides an idyllic backdrop for this Edwardian lady and her loyal companion, a charming dog whose presence adds warmth and companionship to the scene. Trevince House stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich history and architectural grandeur. Nestled within the picturesque village of Gwennap, its stately charm is perfectly encapsulated in this photograph. The lush greenery surrounding Mrs Wood exudes tranquility, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the serenity of country life during that time. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when leisurely afternoons were spent basking under gentle sunlight amid blooming flowers. It serves as a window into an era where refined elegance met rural charm—a harmonious blend embodied by Mrs Wood herself. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print offers a glimpse into both personal and regional history. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistry of Govier's composition but also Cornwall's enduring allure through its magnificent landscapes and cultural heritage.
