EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1913 transports us back in time to the charming village of Probus, Cornwall. The image captures a bustling scene on Chapel Street, as a group of girls and a woman stroll towards the camera with curiosity and awe. Their eyes are fixed upon the Feast Decorated houses that line the street, showcasing vibrant colors and intricate designs. In the middle distance, we catch sight of the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel standing proudly on the left side. Its presence adds an air of serenity amidst the lively atmosphere. Just outside one of these beautifully adorned houses, an older woman and man engage in friendly conversation, perhaps discussing their admiration for this festive display. As our gaze extends beyond Chapel Street, we glimpse The Square in all its vibrancy. Stalls selling various goods attract visitors who mingle amidst a sea of people going about their day. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both community spirit and everyday life during this era. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Samuel John Govier whose keen eye has immortalized this momentous occasion forevermore. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, it serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage
