EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1970 showcases the timeless beauty of Peruppa farmhouse, nestled in the picturesque village of Pentewan, Mevagissey, Cornwall. The Grade II listed slate-hung farmhouse exudes an undeniable charm that transports us back to the 18th century. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are treated to a glimpse of rural life as it was decades ago. Standing proudly outside the farmhouse is a vintage car, believed to be an early Ford Consul with registration number 658 PAF. This classic automobile adds a touch of nostalgia and provides a fascinating contrast against the backdrop of the historic building. Renowned photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures this scene with his keen eye for detail and composition. His lens immortalizes not only the architectural splendor but also evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity that defines Cornish farm life. The image invites us to imagine ourselves strolling through lush green fields surrounding Peruppa farmhouse or perhaps engaging in friendly conversations with local farmers who have tended these lands for generations. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection to nature and simpler times when joy could be found in even the smallest moments. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate both our rich heritage and how far we have come since then – reminding us that amidst progress and change, there will always be something enchanting about capturing history through artful lenses like Woolf's.
