EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of "The Wheel Inn, Tresillian, Cornwall" taken in the early 1900s. Transport yourself to a quaint Cornish village where history comes alive. The picturesque scene showcases Riverside Cottages on the left and the impressive Mens Institute on the right, a testament to its construction in 1893. Intriguingly, barrels are being delivered to the thatched inn by horse and cart, highlighting the traditional methods of yesteryears. Draymen patiently stand by their delivery cart as two magnificent white horses enjoy their meal from nosebags. A charming touch is added by a little girl playing outside one of the row cottages while two ladies tend to their garden next door. Meanwhile, a distinguished gentleman with a striking white beard stands proudly outside the Mens Institute. As you immerse yourself in this snapshot from another era, take note of lines full of washing hanging out to dry in the background - an everyday sight that adds authenticity and character to this timeless image. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this Victorian gem captures not only architectural beauty but also offers glimpses into daily life during that period. With its idyllic setting featuring a thatched roof inn and even an old telegraph pole standing tall nearby, it's no wonder why this print evokes nostalgia for simpler times spent in peaceful Cornish villages.
