EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque village of St Mawes, Cornwall, before the outbreak of World War I. The focal point is a charming thatched cottage known as Bohilla, nestled near the renowned Idle Rocks Hotel. Through the lens of photographer William Pascoe, who tragically passed away at a young age in 1914, we are given a glimpse into this idyllic coastal setting. The image exudes an air of tranquility and simplicity, capturing the essence of Cornish life during this era. The thatched roof stands out against the backdrop of lush greenery and rugged cliffs that surround it. Its rustic charm is enhanced by blooming flowers adorning its windowsills and a neatly maintained garden adding to its allure. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, one can almost imagine smoke billowing from the chimney on a crisp autumn day or hear waves crashing against nearby rocks on stormy nights. This photograph serves as both a visual testament to architectural heritage and an ode to Cornwall's natural beauty. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only Pascoe's artistic talent but also his contribution towards documenting local history. It invites us to reflect on simpler times while reminding us of our connection with those who came before us – their lives woven into every brick and blade of grass captured within these frames.
