EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1897 showcases the picturesque beauty of The Rectory, nestled in the idyllic Church Cove of Landewednack, Cornwall. Steeped in Victorian charm and Cornish heritage, this image transports us back to a time when life unfolded at a slower pace. The focus of the photograph is on the enchanting garden that surrounds The Rectory, with its lush greenery and vibrant blooms. It exudes tranquility and invites one to wander through its well-tended paths. Standing proudly against this verdant backdrop is the magnificent house itself, revealing its elegant architecture and timeless appeal. Two ladies grace the doorway of The Rectory; their presence adds a touch of mystery to this snapshot frozen in time. One can only speculate about their identities - perhaps one is the gracious lady of the house while the other may be her trusted housekeeper. Their poised stance hints at an era where formality was paramount yet offers no clues as to what lies beyond those closed doors. This evocative image was captured by an unknown photographer who skillfully framed both nature's splendor and human presence within a single frame. It serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich history and cultural significance, particularly within The Lizard Peninsula region. Displayed here at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print allows us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone by – appreciating not just its aesthetic beauty but also reflecting upon how our lives have evolved since then.
