EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming countryside of Cornwall in 1903-1904. In this snapshot, we witness a delightful scene unfolding on Calloose Lane, Leedstown. Seated comfortably in a traditional donkey shay is E. J. Hampton, accompanied by several other individuals who are part of his world. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly Mr Tremellin (or Tremelling), proudly holding his young son Willie close to him. Their presence adds an endearing touch to the composition as they stand beside the gentle donkey that patiently awaits its next journey. Archie Gus Trewella completes this picturesque tableau with his watchful gaze fixed upon the group. It's fascinating to note that Mr Hampton was not only content with one mode of transportation; he also owned a racing shay equipped with bicycle wheels, showcasing his adventurous spirit and love for speed. Although we do not know who precisely captured this moment frozen in time, it serves as a testament to their skill behind the lens. This photograph encapsulates both the simplicity and beauty of life during that era - where men worked diligently and children found joy in simple pleasures like riding through idyllic lanes on donkeys. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating Cornish heritage, transport traditions, childhood innocence, hardworking men, and their trusty four-legged companions - all without any commercial intentions but purely for our appreciation and reflection today.
