The image showcases a moment frozen in history, capturing the essence of small businesses during the Edwardian era. In this bustling scene, we see a man who may be Mr. Squibbs himself standing proudly alongside two young women dressed in smart uniforms, likely his dedicated shop assistants. Behind them stands another gentleman diligently working amidst an array of crafts and souvenirs that adorn the shelves. To the right-hand side of this enchanting shopfront are two older women, perhaps customers engrossed in conversation or admiring their potential purchases. And let's not forget about the loyal canine companion resting peacefully on the path outside – a true testament to Cornish hospitality.
