EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1900s, this timeless print transports us to the idyllic Creekside cottages of St Clement, Cornwall. Stepping into a bygone era, we witness a captivating scene unfold before our eyes. A young man deftly manoeuvres his boat on the gentle ripples of a rising tide, while an older gentleman observes from the tranquility of his cottage garden. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Arthur William Jordan, whose lens skillfully immortalizes this Edwardian gem. The charm and character exuded by these creekside cottages are undeniable; their thatched roofs proudly stand as testaments to Cornish heritage. In this particular frame, time seems suspended as generations intertwine - youth and wisdom coexist harmoniously within its borders. The younger man's determination and mastery over his vessel symbolize ambition and adventure, while the elder's watchful gaze reflects a lifetime of experience and contemplation. This photograph serves not only as a visual delight but also as an invaluable historical artifact preserved at Royal Cornwall Museum. It invites us to reflect upon simpler times when life revolved around nature's rhythms and close-knit communities thrived amidst breathtaking landscapes. As we admire this glimpse into Cornwall's past, let us cherish its beauty without commercial intentions but rather with reverence for those who came before us.
