EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene of the tennis courts at Perranporth, Cornwall. The Riverside Tennis Courts stand proudly amidst their surroundings, with the serene beauty of nature enveloping them. A charming cornish fence frames the courts, adding a touch of rustic charm to the scene. Intriguingly, just beyond the tennis courts lies a railway line that hints at an era when train travel was an integral part of life's tapestry. It serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time. To the right side of this snapshot stands a new convalescent home, symbolizing hope and healing for those seeking solace by Cornwall's tranquil shores. Its presence adds depth to this historical moment captured by an unknown photographer who expertly framed this composition. The image also reveals glimpses into daily life during that period; people can be seen enjoying leisurely matches on these well-maintained courts. Their attire reflects fashion trends from yesteryears while they engage in friendly competition under clear skies. Preserved within this print is not only a visual record but also fragments of history waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time and reminded that even though decades have passed since its capture, moments frozen like these continue to hold immense power in connecting us with our past.
