EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the picturesque Cadgwith Village in 1925. The image showcases a bustling main street, lined with charming cottages and adorned with vibrant flowers. Amidst this idyllic scene, four motor vehicles steal the spotlight, representing a glimpse into an era of progress and change. The presence of cars in this quaint fishing village is a testament to the evolving times. As they navigate through narrow streets once dominated by horses and carts, these automobiles symbolize modernity seeping into even the most remote corners of Cornwall. Their sleek designs juxtapose beautifully against the rustic backdrop, creating an intriguing visual contrast. Yet amidst all this novelty, one cannot overlook Cadgwith's enduring connection to its maritime heritage. Fishing nets are strewn across doorways while traditional Cornish boats rest peacefully nearby; reminders that despite societal advancements, some traditions remain steadfastly intact. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by an unknown photographer, we are transported back in time - witnessing a moment frozen forever within its frame. It serves as both a window into history and a celebration of Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry: where old meets new and tradition intertwines with progress
