EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the charming village of Grampound in Cornwall. The view up Fore Street is nothing short of picturesque, with its quaint buildings lining the road and leading our gaze towards the majestic clock tower standing proudly in the distance. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to a horse-drawn cart positioned at the center of the photograph. It serves as a reminder of an era when horsepower was not just a figure of speech but a tangible reality on these cobbled streets. Beyond that, nestled against the horizon, we spot a caravan - perhaps hinting at nomadic travelers passing through this idyllic village. The presence of people posed in the road adds life and character to this frozen moment captured by photographer Samuel John Govier. Their attire reflects fashion trends from yesteryears while their expressions remain forever preserved within this frame. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates nostalgia and invites us to imagine what life might have been like during those simpler times. It transports us back to an era where horses were transportation kings and caravans represented adventure and wanderlust. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this piece offers visitors an opportunity to connect with Cornwall's rich heritage and immerse themselves in its timeless beauty without any commercial intentions overshadowing its historical significance.
