EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the grandeur of Scorrier House, Gwennap, Cornwall, captured in this vintage photo print. The scene unfolds before us with a vibrant hunt meet taking place on the sprawling lawn. Horses stand proudly alongside beagles, their eager energy palpable as they await the start of an exhilarating chase. The magnificent Scorrier House forms a majestic backdrop to this lively gathering. Its elegant facade exudes timeless charm and hints at the opulence within its walls. A sense of history permeates every inch of this image, transporting us to a bygone era when such gatherings were commonplace. This photograph likely predates the tragic fire that engulfed Scorrier House in 1908, forever altering its architectural landscape. It serves as a poignant reminder of what once was - an idyllic haven where man and beast converged for sport and camaraderie. Arthur William Jordan's skilled eye captures not only the essence of this moment but also offers us glimpses into Cornish life during that era. The dogs' playful antics add warmth and character to the scene, reminding us of their integral role in these hunts. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back in time; our imaginations ignited with stories untold and memories long forgotten.
