EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene of "The Square" in Probus, Cornwall. The image showcases a charming row of thatched cottages nestled just east of the entrance to the churchyard. As our eyes wander through the photograph, we notice a group of thirty-one adults and mostly children posing for this timeless moment. The composition offers a delightful glimpse into village life during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Each individual seems to have their own unique story as they stand proudly or sit comfortably on doorsteps, creating an enchanting tableau against the backdrop of Tregony Road. One cannot help but be captivated by the variety of children's clothing on display. From frilly dresses with delicate lace collars to knickerbockers paired with knee-high socks, it is evident that fashion played an important role even in this quaint Cornish village. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stitch and button meticulously chosen. Photographer Samuel John Govier skillfully captures not only the architectural beauty of these thatched-roof cottages but also provides us with a window into everyday life at that time. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to Cornwall's rich heritage.
