EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Probus, Cornwall, around 1920. The focus of this image is "The Cottage" a charming house nestled on Fore Street near the entrance to the former Probus School. Renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures the rear view of this historic building, showcasing its unique architectural features. The Cottage stands as a testament to Cornish heritage with its traditional design and rustic charm. Its whitewashed walls exude warmth against the lush greenery that surrounds it. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling along Fore Street, soaking up the tranquility and beauty of village life. Intriguingly, just beyond The Cottage's garden gate lies an enchanting glimpse into history—the former Probus School. Though not visible in this particular photograph, one can't help but wonder about the stories held within those walls and how they intertwine with daily life in this idyllic setting. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when community was paramount and nature provided solace for all who called these lands home. It invites us to appreciate both the grandeur of Cornwall's landscapes and the humble dwellings that dot its countryside—a true testament to enduring beauty through generations.
