EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Jamaica Inn in Bolventor, Cornwall. Known for its association with Cornish smuggling, this historic inn is celebrated in Daphne Du Maurier's famous novel of the same name. The image showcases the charming building nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Bodmin Moor. Dating back to the early 20th century, this postcard offers a glimpse into a bygone era when coaching inns played a vital role in transportation and trade. However, it was not just legitimate business that took place within these walls; Jamaica Inn became notorious for its involvement in smuggling activities along the treacherous Cornish coastline. The inn's connection to smugglers and wreckers adds an air of mystery and intrigue to its already rich history. Rumored tales of secret passages and hidden rooms only add to its allure as a setting for thrilling adventures. Daphne Du Maurier masterfully captured this atmosphere of danger and suspense in her novel, making Jamaica Inn an essential part of British literature. This photograph allows us to visualize the very place that inspired her imagination. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the allure of Cornwall's smuggling past. It serves as a reminder that even today, centuries later, places like Jamaica Inn continue to captivate our imaginations with their stories from long ago.
