EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this vintage print transports us to the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall in the early 1900s. The focal point is an intriguing haystack, adorned with corrugated iron sheets that shield it from the elements. What makes this scene truly remarkable are the suspended granite boulders, reminiscent of ancient Druids eggs, which anchor down these protective layers. The unknown photographer skillfully captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to both Victorian and Edwardian influences on Cornish farming practices. This image offers a glimpse into an agricultural world where traditional methods harmoniously blend with emerging technologies. The haystack itself stands as a symbol of hard work and resilience; its construction showcases meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations. With every strand meticulously woven together, it represents not only sustenance for livestock but also embodies the spirit of community collaboration. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded that history is not solely shaped by grand events or famous figures but rather by everyday scenes like these – snapshots that reveal untold stories and provide insight into our shared heritage. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites us to reflect upon our roots and appreciate how far we have come while preserving traditions that continue to shape our present.
