EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to a serene corner of Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque thatched Cornish cottage nestled near Hugus, Kea, surrounded by the enchanting beauty of nature. As we gaze upon this idyllic scene, we are instantly drawn into the tranquility and charm that defines rural life in Edwardian Cornwall. The narrow country lane leading up to the cottage invites us to imagine leisurely strolls through its peaceful surroundings. Lush fields stretch out behind the cottage, painting a vibrant backdrop against which this quaint abode stands proudly. To one side of the cottage, traditional Cornish hedges add an authentic touch to the landscape, creating natural boundaries that blend harmoniously with their surroundings. A stone wall encircles this timeless dwelling, offering both protection and character as it embraces every inch of its architectural heritage. It is evident that great care has been taken in preserving this historic gem for future generations to appreciate. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the essence and atmosphere of this remarkable place. His lens allows us a glimpse into a simpler era when life moved at a slower pace amidst breathtaking landscapes. As we admire this extraordinary photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us be transported back in time and cherish these glimpses into our rich cultural history – where simplicity met beauty in perfect harmony within Truro's charming countryside.
