EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1902, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Crowgey Farm and yard in Ruan Minor, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures the essence of rural life on the Lizard Peninsula, showcasing a scene that is both charming and authentic. At the center of attention are two children standing proudly in the doorway of their thatched farm house. Their innocent faces beam with curiosity as they pose for an unknown photographer who has skillfully captured this timeless moment. It's fascinating to imagine what dreams and aspirations these young souls held within their hearts. Surrounding them, we witness pigs freely roaming around the yard, adding a touch of liveliness to this idyllic setting. These animals were not only a valuable source of sustenance for farming families like those at Crowgey Farm but also played an integral role in shaping Cornwall's agricultural landscape during that era. Owned by Sampson Bosustow at the time, Crowgey Farm stands as a testament to generations past who dedicated themselves to tilling these fertile lands. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their hard work and dedication towards sustaining themselves through agriculture. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this extraordinary snapshot offers us a glimpse into Cornish history while celebrating its rich farming heritage on the Lizard Peninsula. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry frozen in time, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both simplicity and resilience inherent within rural communities across centuries.
