EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a charming Cornish fishing village, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The scene unfolds in front of Roskilly Post Office, nestled within the picturesque hamlet of Coverack in St Keverne, Cornwall. With its quaint architecture and rustic charm, this street scene exudes an undeniable Victorian and Edwardian ambiance. In this snapshot frozen in time, two carefree children can be seen engrossed in their playful antics on the cobblestone road. Their laughter echoes through the air as they chase each other around an old cart filled with baskets brimming with fresh produce. It is a testament to simpler times when imagination and outdoor adventures were cherished. Amidst this lively backdrop stands an artist passionately capturing the beauty that surrounds them on canvas. Lost in their creative world, brush strokes dance across the easel as they immortalize this idyllic setting forevermore. The image evokes nostalgia for a time when grocers served as vital hubs for community interaction and commerce. As locals go about their daily routines - exchanging pleasantries or collecting provisions - one cannot help but feel enveloped by a sense of camaraderie that permeates every corner of this close-knit village. Preserved by history's hand yet captured by an unknown photographer, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into Cornwall's rich heritage while celebrating its timeless allure.
