EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported to a serene scene below Trelyon Avenue in St Ives, Cornwall. Two elegant ladies engage in a spirited game of croquet on a meticulously manicured lawn, while a gentleman watches attentively from the sidelines. The charm of this moment is further accentuated by the picturesque surroundings. The croquet lawn is nestled amidst lush greenery, with towering trees and vibrant hedges framing the idyllic setting. A quaint bench invites visitors to pause and soak in the tranquil ambiance while enjoying the lively game unfolding before them. Beyond this peaceful oasis lies an intriguing glimpse into daily life - a railway line can be seen below, hinting at bustling connections to other parts of Cornwall. And as our eyes wander even further, we catch sight of St Ives' enchanting harbor glistening in the distance. Captured by renowned photographer John Charles Burrow, this evocative image not only preserves a snapshot of leisurely pastimes but also offers us insight into Cornish history and its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to how moments frozen in time can transport us back through generations and ignite our imagination with stories waiting to be told.
