EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque village of St Buryan in Cornwall, July 1920. The image showcases the doorway remains at Trewoofe, a house that unfortunately met its demise in 1918. However, this beautiful stone archway was salvaged and found a new home at Ayr, St Ives before eventually being returned to its original location. The craftsmanship evident in the intricate stone carving is truly remarkable. Each detail tells a story of skilled hands working diligently to create an architectural masterpiece. The cornish influence is unmistakable as it adds a touch of local charm and authenticity to the scene. Photographer Herbert Hughes has expertly captured not only the physical beauty of this ancient doorway but also its historical significance. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what life might have been like during those long summer days in 1920s Cornwall. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonderment at how something so delicate yet enduring could survive through time's relentless passage. It serves as a reminder that even though buildings may crumble and disappear, their legacy lives on through remnants such as these. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum invites us into an enchanting world where history intertwines with artistry - an everlasting testament to the rich cultural heritage that defines Cornwall's unique identity.
