EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the quaint village of Mitchell in Cornwall, on a crisp autumn day in 1908. The Tamblyn family, residents of the charming Ivy House, are elegantly captured by photographer Samuel John Govier. In this delightful family group portrait, we see two graceful ladies standing side by side with a little girl nestled between them. They exude an air of sophistication and refinement that was characteristic of the Edwardian era. Their attire showcases the fashion trends of the time; their cornish costumes are beautifully tailored and adorned with intricate details. The woman on the left is believed to be Miss Mary Tamblyn, who played multiple roles within her community as both a draper and tea dealer at the post office during this period. Her poise reflects her status as a respected member of society. Beside her stands another lady, perhaps Mary's daughter or sister - their familial connection evident in their shared features. And at their feet stands an adorable little girl, possibly Mary's granddaughter, dressed impeccably like her elders. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides us with glimpses into Cornish history and culture from over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can reflect social status while showcasing timeless elegance that transcends generations.
