EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a side view of the magnificent Roskrow House in St Gluvias, Cornwall. The image is captured from an intriguing perspective, showcasing the house as seen from its tennis court. Interestingly, this particular angle suggests that this photograph may have been taken at a later date than others featuring Roskrow House since the presence of the tennis court is not evident elsewhere. Built in 1910, Roskrow House was once home to Aubrey Wallis, who held the esteemed position of Hunt Master during his residency. This grand residence exudes elegance and charm with its stunning architecture and picturesque surroundings. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is Arthur William Jordan whose keen eye for detail has beautifully immortalized this moment in history. Through his lens, we are transported to a bygone era where life unfolded at a different pace. As we gaze upon this print from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we can't help but marvel at the timeless beauty of Roskrow House and imagine all the stories it holds within its walls. It serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and reminds us of how our past shapes our present.
