EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1927 transports us back to a simpler time, where the River Fowey in Lostwithiel, Cornwall was not only a source of tranquility but also a place for unexpected adventures. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an extraordinary sight: a man and his trusty horse indulging in the refreshing waters of the river. As their figures gracefully merge with the flowing currents, one cannot help but be enchanted by their harmonious connection. The bond between man and beast is evident as they share this intimate moment together. It is as if they have found solace amidst nature's embrace. In the backdrop stands Tudor Bridge, its arches standing tall and proud against the passing years. Despite its name suggesting a more recent origin, it harks back to medieval times when Lostwithiel held court as the capital of the Duchy of Cornwall. This bridge serves as both a physical link across the river and a metaphorical bridge connecting past and present. The image captures not only an idyllic scene but also hints at lost tales waiting to be discovered within these ancient lands. It reminds us that history lives on through moments like these – simple yet profound glimpses into our shared human experience. This remarkable print invites us to reflect upon our relationship with nature, celebrate our heritage, and cherish those fleeting moments that make life truly extraordinary.
