EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print showcases Dorothy Pentreath, a remarkable woman who holds the title of being the last person to speak the Cornish language fluently. The image portrays her in traditional 18th-century Cornish costume, exuding an air of dignity and resilience. Dorothy Pentreath, also known as Dolly Pentreath, lived from 1692 to 1777 and was a significant figure in British history. Prior to the revival of the Cornish language in the 20th century, she stood as its final fluent native speaker. This postcard from the early 20th century serves as both a tribute to her legacy and a testament to Cornwall's rich linguistic heritage. In this portrait, Dorothy is depicted holding baskets while draped in an elegant cloak. Her piercing gaze reflects not only her personal strength but also symbolizes the endurance of an entire culture on the brink of extinction. The engraving beautifully captures Dorothy's essence as she stands proudly against a backdrop that represents Great Britain and Europe. It serves as a poignant reminder of how languages shape our identities and connect us with our roots. As we admire this litho print by English School from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us honor Dorothy Pentreath's memory and recognize her contribution towards preserving Cornwall's unique cultural heritage for generations to come.
