EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the iconic House on the Props in Polperro, Cornwall, painted by William Carruthers Affleck in the 1930s. The picturesque Cornish building stands tall on wooden props above the water, with a quaint bridge leading up to its open windows adorned with colorful flowers. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, transporting viewers back to a simpler time in English countryside living.
Affleck's skillful use of watercolors brings out the beauty of this unique architectural gem, making it a timeless piece of art that has been reproduced as a local view postcard by J. Salmon publishing company. The warm tones and intricate details capture the essence of rural England in the 1930s, showcasing a slice of history frozen in time.

It serves as a reminder of days gone by when life moved at a slower pace and simple pleasures were cherished. The House on the Props is not just a building; it is an embodiment of tradition, craftsmanship, and natural beauty that continues to captivate hearts even today.
