Capturing the Essence of Serpentine Workshops in Early 1900s Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the early 1900s, where we find ourselves immersed in the bustling world of serpentine workshops at The Lizard, Landewednack, Cornwall. A snapshot frozen in time, it showcases small businesses and crafts that were an integral part of this Cornish peninsula. Intriguingly, we catch a glimpse of G. Goodman's Lizard Serpentine Works, Francis Jose (Joseph?) Guide's Serpentine Works, and E. Matthews & Sons' Serpentine workers and boats hire shopfronts. It is evident that these establishments played a significant role in shaping the local economy during this era. The photograph also reveals a vibrant scene filled with workmen diligently engaged in their craft alongside young boys who are likely apprentices learning the trade. Adding warmth to the image is a woman with her child standing by one of the shop doorways – perhaps offering support or simply enjoying being part of this industrious environment. Notably displayed on the wall is a notice for an upcoming studio exhibition by Thomas Hart, FSA – hinting at artistic endeavors within this community beyond just craftsmanship. Photographer Arthur Philp has masterfully captured both the essence and energy surrounding these serpentine workshops through his lens. This evocative image serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage while shedding light on its thriving small businesses and dedicated artisans
