EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1900s, this historic print showcases a significant moment at Killiow Estate in Kea, Cornwall. The image portrays a group of diligent men engaged in the arduous task of felling a majestic tree. Among them stands John Stevens Scoble, an esteemed shipwright residing in Beach Cottage, Coombe. The presence of Mr. Scoble suggests that this mighty tree was destined for boat building purposes for the renowned Daubuz family. As their trusted shipwright, it is likely that he played a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and craftsmanship required to construct vessels that would grace Cornish waters. Photographed by Ernest Chegwidden, this scene captures not only the physical labor involved but also highlights the beauty of nature surrounding Killiow Estate. The tranquil river nearby adds an element of serenity amidst the industrious atmosphere. With axes and saws in hand, these dedicated workers demonstrate their expertise as they skillfully cut through wood with precision and determination. Each swing brings them closer to completing their mission while honoring Cornwall's rich heritage rooted deeply within its natural resources. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our intrinsic connection with nature. It offers us a glimpse into an era when manual labor shaped communities and provided essential resources for daily life - all captured through Chegwidden's lens.
