EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the picturesque village of Bolingey in Perranzabuloe, Cornwall. The image showcases the timeless beauty of thatched cottages, a quintessential feature of Cornish architecture. Standing proudly amidst this idyllic setting are two men, their weathered faces telling tales of hard work and resilience. A little girl with innocent curiosity stands beside them, her eyes filled with wonder at the world around her. By their side is a loyal companion - a dog whose presence adds warmth and companionship to this charming scene. Intriguingly captured by photographer Samuel John Govier, we are given a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. The attention to detail is remarkable; every strand of thatch seems meticulously placed atop these humble dwellings. As our gaze wanders further into the frame, we notice a young boy striking a pose by the gate - perhaps he dreams of adventures beyond his small village. This print evokes nostalgia for simpler times when life revolved around close-knit communities and nature's bounty was cherished. It serves as both an ode to Cornish heritage and an invitation for us to appreciate the enduring charm found within its villages like Bolingey.
