EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1910s, capturing a moment frozen in history. The image showcases Riverside House, formerly known as Captain Philip Richards' house, nestled along the serene banks of Gweek in Cornwall. Built around 1890, this grand residence exudes an air of elegance and charm. Intriguingly, dominating the foreground is an unidentified topsail schooner gracefully moored at the quay. Its presence adds a touch of maritime allure to this picturesque scene. On the sandy beach below, we see a group of individuals standing together - perhaps Mr John Veale and his family who were believed to be the owners at that time. The photograph also offers glimpses into daily life during this era. People can be seen aboard the ship engaged in their tasks while various carts with horses are scattered around Riverside House. These details provide valuable insights into transportation methods and livelihoods prevalent during those times. Although the photographer remains unknown, their skillful composition allows us to step back into history and appreciate both architectural beauty and coastal splendor captured within a single frame. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and invites us to imagine what life was like for those who once called Riverside House home.
