EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the picturesque Victoria Terrace in St Stephen, Cornwall. Bathed in sunlight, this charming village scene takes us back to a bygone era. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to a horse and cart making its way downhill, leaving St Stephen behind. A young boy stands by a garden gate, perhaps captivated by the sight of the passing cart. Intriguingly, a lady stands at her own garden gate, looking directly towards the camera. Her presence adds an air of mystery to the photograph - what thoughts might be running through her mind? Was she aware that this moment would be forever captured on film? Victoria Terrace itself holds historical significance as it was built in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. This architectural gem is a testament to Cornish craftsmanship and Victorian elegance. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Samuel John Govier, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this idyllic corner of Cornwall's past. Transporting us back in time with its cornish charm and Edwardian ambiance, this print offers us a glimpse into life as it once was – capturing both everyday moments and significant milestones within this tight-knit community.
