EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the picturesque village of Landewednack, nestled on the north side of The Lizard in Cornwall. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, our eyes are drawn to a row of charming cottages that line the green, exuding an undeniable Edwardian charm. Beyond them, the vast expanse of the sea stretches out into the distance, creating a breathtaking backdrop for this idyllic coastal village. In the foreground, a delightful surprise awaits us—a hen gracefully struts across the road, adding a touch of rural authenticity to this already enchanting composition. Just behind her, a young boy can be seen carrying bags as he walks along the road. His presence adds a sense of life and movement to this otherwise serene snapshot. The photographer behind this remarkable image is believed to be Arthur Philp—an artist with an impeccable eye for capturing Cornwall's beauty through his lens. Through his skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail, he has immortalized not only these humble houses but also an entire era in Cornish history. As we admire this print from Royal Cornwall Museum today, it serves as a poignant reminder of how time may pass but certain landscapes remain eternally captivating. It allows us to step back in time and experience firsthand what life was like in one of Cornwall's most cherished rural villages over a century ago—truly an invaluable glimpse into our rich cultural heritage.
