EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1909, we are transported back in time to the picturesque grounds of Trevince House in Gwennap, Cornwall. The focal point of the image is Mrs Beauchamp, a graceful and elegant woman who stands amidst the flourishing garden. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of Edwardian England, as she adorns a chatelaine - a decorative belt at her waist adorned with various trinkets - adding an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Mrs Beauchamp's poise is further accentuated by her firm grip on a wooden staff, which lends an intriguing sense of mystery to her character. One can only wonder about its significance; perhaps it serves as both a practical walking aid and symbolizes strength or authority within this idyllic setting. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Samuel John Govier, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment in time. Through his lens, he captures not just Mrs Beauchamp's physical appearance but also hints at her personality and role within society. This photograph now finds its place within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, serving as a testament to Cornish history and culture during that era. It allows us to glimpse into the lives led by those residing in grand estates like Trevince House while preserving their stories for generations to come.
