EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to St Hilary School in Cornwall during the years 1910-1914. The image showcases a group of bright young minds, winners of minor scholarships, proudly posing with their teacher outside the school building. The students stand and sit in two rows, exuding an air of accomplishment as they wear their distinctive school caps. These caps, part of the traditional Cornish uniform, add a touch of elegance to their attire. Each cap is adorned with a straw boater hat - a symbol of sophistication that perfectly complements their youthful enthusiasm. Photographer Samuel John Govier skillfully captures this moment frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the importance placed on education even over a century ago. The composition highlights both individuality and unity among these scholars; each face tells its own story while collectively representing the promising future generation. As we admire this remarkable photograph print, it's important to note that it holds historical significance beyond commercial use. It serves as a testament to St Hilary School's commitment to nurturing young minds and fostering academic excellence within its community during those early 20th-century years.
