EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Bryher, one of the Isles of Scilly in Cornwall during the early 1910s. The image showcases a remarkable scene where flower boxes are being carted through this picturesque island. A horse-drawn cart, laden with an abundance of vibrant blooms, stands as a testament to the flourishing flower industry that once thrived on these shores. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their lens has captured a moment frozen in time. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when farming and agriculture played vital roles in sustaining local communities. The carefully arranged flower boxes symbolize both hard work and artistry intertwined within this trade. Transported by horse-drawn harnesses, these fragrant treasures were lovingly tended by skilled hands before embarking on journeys across England. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we cannot help but marvel at how such simple means of transportation could carry so much beauty. The image evokes nostalgia for a time when nature's bounty was cherished and celebrated. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there is still something magical about witnessing flowers being transported through traditional methods. Preserved within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the significance of industries like flower farming that shaped local economies and brought joy to countless lives throughout history.
