EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the quaint village of Lanteglos, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Cornwall. The year is 1971, and photographer Charles Woolf has expertly captured a timeless scene that showcases the essence of rural housing and vernacular architecture. In this idyllic setting, we are greeted by a charming stone bridge that spans over a gentle stream. On either side of the bridge stand traditional cottages with their slate roofs and whitewashed walls, exuding an undeniable Cornish charm. Each building tells its own story through unique architectural details, reflecting generations past. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice a little boy standing near the bridge's edge. His presence adds an element of innocence and curiosity to this tranquil scene—a reminder of youthful exploration amidst nature's beauty. Completing this snapshot is an old-fashioned van parked nearby—an emblematic symbol of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. It serves as a testament to both practicality and nostalgia within this close-knit community. Woolf's photograph encapsulates not only the physical landscape but also captures intangible qualities such as joyce (happiness) and greenham (a sense of peace). These emotions emanate from every corner of Lanteglos, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its serene ambiance. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print transports us back in time—allowing us to appreciate the enduring allure found within small villages like Lant
