EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1904, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of serenity and grace. The enchanting Mabel, possibly Mabel Bosustow, stands elegantly by a garden gate in the picturesque region of The Lizard, Cornwall. Bathed in the warm Edwardian sunlight, her presence exudes an air of tranquility amidst the lush greenery that surrounds her. Although part of a series taken at Crowgey Farm, it is believed that this particular snapshot was captured elsewhere on The Lizard peninsula. A place renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and rugged beauty. It is here where nature meets farming and agriculture seamlessly intertwines with daily life. The identity of the photographer remains unknown; however, their skillful eye has immortalized this timeless moment forever. Through their lens, they have managed to encapsulate not only Mabel's striking pose but also the essence of rural life during this era. This remarkable photograph serves as a window into history—a glimpse into a world long gone yet preserved through images like these. As we admire Mabel's poise and contemplate the idyllic surroundings she finds herself in, we can't help but be reminded of simpler times when nature played an integral role in our lives. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum invites us to reflect upon our connection with both land and heritage—an invitation to appreciate the rich tapestry woven by generations past on The Lizard peninsula.
