EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque Crowgey Farm, nestled in the heart of Ruan Minor, Cornwall. This print transports us to the year 1904, capturing a poignant moment during harvest time. The focus of this snapshot is George Bosustow, son of Sampson Bosustow, diligently working with a sickle in hand alongside his uncle. Their strong bond evident as they toil together amidst the golden corn fields. The image exudes an Edwardian charm that resonates with nostalgia for simpler times. The lush Cornish landscape serves as a breathtaking backdrop, showcasing the natural beauty of the Lizard Peninsula. A faithful dog stands loyally by their side, perhaps offering companionship or even lending a helping paw when needed. This photograph offers a glimpse into rural life at its core – farming and agriculture being integral parts of Cornwall's heritage. It also sheds light on the Bosustow family legacy at Crowgey Farm; Kellys Directory confirms Sampson's tenure until at least 1919 before passing on the reins to Frederick Bosustow by 1923. Though we may not know who precisely captured this remarkable moment frozen in time, it remains an invaluable piece within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection. Let this evocative print transport you back over a century ago and immerse yourself in the rich history and traditions that shaped Cornish farming communities.
