EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1962, capturing the front view of Empacombe House in all its glory. Situated on the picturesque Mount Edgcumbe estate in Maker, Cornwall, this charming cottage is a true testament to Cornish architecture. The photograph showcases not only the magnificent house but also its surroundings. Lined with majestic palm trees, a quaint lane leads up to the property, adding an air of enchantment and serenity. It's easy to imagine strolling along this path and feeling transported into a different era. Empacombe House boasts a walled garden that was believed to be the kitchen garden for the entire estate. This detail hints at its historical significance as it may have been inhabited by none other than the head gardener himself. The presence of such lush greenery adds vibrancy and life to this already stunning scene. Today, this remarkable residence has been renamed Bay Cottage but still retains its timeless charm. Thanks to photographer Charles Woolf's keen eye for detail, we are able to appreciate both the architectural beauty of Empacombe House and its idyllic setting within nature. This print serves as a delightful reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage and invites us to immerse ourselves in its tranquil beauty once more.
