EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to the charming village of Zelah, nestled in the picturesque St Allen region of Cornwall. As we gaze upon this black and white snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to two elegant ladies strolling along the main road. Their flower-decorated hats add a touch of grace and femininity to their attire, perfectly complementing their Victorian-era dresses. But it's not just these fashionable women who capture our attention; behind them, a group of children can be seen playing joyfully on the street. Dressed impeccably in smart clothing, they bring an air of innocence and liveliness to this historic scene. The photographer, Arthur William Jordan, skillfully captures this moment in time with his lens. The image transports us back to an era when life moved at a slower pace - where neighbors knew each other by name and children played freely on cobblestone streets. It offers a glimpse into daily life during that period while showcasing the unique Cornish architecture that lines both sides of the road. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded of how photography has preserved precious moments for generations to come. This particular photograph encapsulates both the beauty and simplicity found within Cornish villages during the early 1900s – truly a testament to its historical significance.
