EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 1800s in Cornwall, where we find ourselves immersed in the world of a skilled wheelwright at Trenear, Wendron. The image showcases a bustling workshop filled with tools and wooden wagon frames, revealing the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating these essential modes of transportation during that era. The wheelwright depicted here is none other than Thomas Faull, who was renowned for his expertise in this trade. Hailing from Wendron Churchtown since 1873 before moving to Trenear in 1883, he became an integral part of the local community. His tireless efforts ensured that wagons were not only functional but also beautifully crafted pieces of art. Photographed by Samuel John Govier, this snapshot captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to both Faull's skill as well as Govier's talent behind the lens. The composition allows us to appreciate every detail within the workshop: from stacks of timber waiting to be transformed into wheels, to various tools meticulously arranged on workbenches. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich heritage and its hardworking people who shaped their communities through their trades. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much has changed over time while honoring those who dedicated their lives to preserving traditional craftsmanship.
