EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene of The Square in Probus, Cornwall. Standing tall and proud in the background is the magnificent Church of St Probus and St Grace, boasting the title of having the tallest church tower in all of Cornwall at an impressive height of 129 feet. In front of this architectural marvel, a group of young boys strike a pose for the camera, their youthful energy adding life to this timeless image. On the right side, we catch sight of Mrs H. Gerrans' Grocer & Drapers shop with a lady standing gracefully in its doorway. This quaint village setting exudes charm and tranquility. Adding further character to this enchanting snapshot is a street lamp adorned with words that read "Diamond Jubilee" around its middle section. A nod to Queen Victoria's long reign during that era. The skilled photographer behind this remarkable piece is Arthur William Jordan, whose talent has allowed us to glimpse into history through his lens. His attention to detail captures not only the physical beauty but also preserves moments frozen in time. This print evokes feelings of nostalgia as it showcases Victorian and Edwardian influences within a quintessential village setting complete with thatched cottages and houses. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical artifact from Probus' past.
