Annie in Corn Field, Crowgey Farm - A Glimpse into Edwardian Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a serene moment in the life of Annie Bosustow, a young woman born and raised on the picturesque grounds of Crowgey Farm. Taken in 1903, this image showcases Annie seated gracefully amidst the golden waves of mown corn, providing a glimpse into both her rural upbringing and the beauty of the Lizard Peninsula. Owned by Sampson Bosustow at that time, Crowgey Farm served as an idyllic backdrop for Annie's childhood. Surrounded by nature's bounty, she found solace among the lush fields and endless skies. This photograph not only immortalizes Annie but also offers us a window into women's fashion during this period. Annie's attire reflects typical Edwardian style with its modest yet elegant design. Her long dress drapes gently around her figure while delicate lace accents add a touch of femininity to her ensemble. The choice of clothing highlights how even amidst agricultural work, women maintained their grace and poise. Though taken by an unknown photographer, this image is now preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection—a testament to its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when farming was central to daily life on the Cornish coast
