EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting countryside of Mawgan in Meneage, Cornwall, in the year 1897. The image transports us to a serene lane on the Trelowarren estate, nestled near the picturesque Helford River. Two charming thatched cottages stand proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. The focus is drawn towards Rock Cottage, situated on the right-hand side of this idyllic scene. What makes it truly unique is its construction on a projecting rock foundation, giving it an air of rustic charm and character. Its thatched roof blends harmoniously with nature's beauty surrounding it. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Herbert Hughes, we are reminded of simpler times when life revolved around these quaint farmsteads and their inhabitants. The tranquility exuded by this image invites us to imagine strolling along this peaceful lane or perhaps even knocking at one of those inviting doors. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a window into history, preserving not only architectural heritage but also capturing a moment frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate the beauty found within our natural landscapes while reflecting on how much has changed over more than a century since its capture.
