EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from around 1884, we are transported back in time to Polpenwith, Constantine, Cornwall during the bustling harvest season. The image captures a precious moment of respite for the hardworking harvesters and their families, known as "Croust time" - a Cornish tradition where everyone takes a break to enjoy some nourishment. At the forefront of this snapshot is Sarah Selina Perry Williams, an elegant lady seated comfortably with her young son Owen John Williams on her lap. Their presence adds a touch of warmth and tenderness amidst the rustic backdrop. Born just a year prior in Polpenwith, little Owen embodies hope for future generations. The scene itself exudes both Victorian charm and Cornish authenticity. One can almost feel the crisp autumn air as it mingles with scents of freshly harvested crops. The surrounding fields bear witness to tireless labor; golden sheaves stand tall against azure skies while farmhands rest nearby. This print serves as a window into history, offering glimpses into daily life in rural Cornwall over a century ago. It reminds us of the importance placed on communal breaks and sustenance during arduous times like harvest season. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this poignant image invites contemplation on our shared heritage and traditions that have shaped communities throughout time – reminding us that even amid demanding workloads, moments of connection and nourishment remain essential threads woven into the fabric of our lives.
