EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque landscape of Cornwall in October 1934. The focal point is Trevissome House, a magnificent grade II listed Georgian country house nestled between Mylor Bridge and Flushing. From the vantage point of the lush lawn, we are treated to a stunning view of this architectural gem. During this era, Captain Wilfred Dowman and his wife Catharine were proud owners of Trevissome House. Notably, they had also acquired the famous clipper ship Cutty Sark in 1922. Their dedication to restoring her for use as a cadet training vessel was commendable. The photographer behind this timeless image is Arthur William Jordan, who skillfully captures both the grandeur of Trevissome House and its idyllic surroundings. His composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this Victorian masterpiece. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era where great houses like Trevissome stood as symbols of wealth and prestige. This snapshot serves as a reminder not only of Cornwall's rich architectural heritage but also of the Dowmans' contribution to maritime history through their restoration efforts on Cutty Sark.
