EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from June 1911 transports us back in time to a picturesque farming scene in Grampound, Cornwall. The image showcases the idyllic countryside with Channel Island cattle grazing peacefully alongside a majestic horse, both belonging to the esteemed Wyatt family. Standing proudly beside them are an elderly lady and a young woman, possibly members of the Wyatt family themselves. The photograph, skillfully captured by Samuel John Govier, exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony between humans and animals. It encapsulates the essence of rural life during this era when agriculture played a vital role in sustaining communities. Cornwall's rich agricultural heritage is beautifully depicted here as we witness the dedication and hard work that went into market gardening. The lush green fields surrounding these individuals serve as a testament to their commitment to nurturing crops for sustenance or trade. This remarkable snapshot offers us not only a glimpse into history but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. It reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with nature and how it has shaped our lives throughout generations. Preserved within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print serves as an invaluable piece of Cornish history—a visual reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness ingrained in farming communities that have sustained Cornwall for centuries.
