EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the summer of 1938, where a picturesque scene unfolds before your eyes. This stunning print captures the enchanting beauty of Morrab Gardens in Penzance, Cornwall. As you gaze upon this subtropical oasis, it becomes evident why it was chosen as a GWR publicity view. The Victorian fountain takes center stage, its elegant design standing as a testament to an era long gone. Water cascades gracefully from its ornate tiers, creating a soothing melody that harmonizes with the gentle rustling of leaves. Surrounding the fountain are majestic trees that have weathered countless seasons and witnessed generations pass by. Morrab Gardens exudes tranquility and charm; it is a sanctuary where nature's splendor thrives amidst an urban landscape. The lush greenery provides respite from bustling city life, transporting visitors to another world altogether. Strolling along meandering pathways lined with vibrant flowers and exotic plants, one cannot help but feel transported to distant lands. This image encapsulates the essence of summertime bliss in Cornwall during the 1930s. It invites us to imagine leisurely afternoons spent reading beneath shady canopies or engaging in delightful conversations on wrought-iron benches. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time at STEAM Museum of the GWR, let us be reminded of the enduring allure that gardens hold for humanity—a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be spaces like Morrab Gardens where nature's timeless beauty flourishes
