EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of the interior of Mount Edgcumbe House in Maker, Cornwall. Taken in 1962 by renowned photographer Charles Woolf, it captures a moment frozen in time during or just after the rebuilding of the house by the 6th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe following devastating bomb damage during World War II. In this image, a distinguished man and lady stand proudly on the main staircase, possibly family members or esteemed staff. Behind them hangs a striking family portrait that adds an air of history and heritage to this already majestic setting. The meticulous attention to detail is evident as one's gaze wanders through this opulent space adorned with intricate mouldings, a decorative frieze, and an exquisite chandelier illuminating their path. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into the resolute spirit that prevailed amidst adversity during wartime reconstruction efforts. It serves as a testament to both resilience and restoration—a tribute to those who worked tirelessly to rebuild this stately home back to its former glory. As we admire this snapshot from yesteryear held within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in Cornish history while marveling at the architectural splendor that still stands today.
