EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s, where Rosedale, Kenwyn, Cornwall thrived with its picturesque charm. This print captures a slice of daily life on the road from Moresk to Idless. Opposite Polquick Cottage and near the entrance to Daubuz Moor, we witness a scene filled with timeless simplicity. In this snapshot frozen by Arthur Philp's lens, our attention is drawn to a lady donning a white apron as she collects water from the mill leat. Her pail poised gracefully under the trickling stream reflects her dedication and resourcefulness. Standing beside her is an adorable little girl adorned in a large hat that shields her delicate features from the sun's rays. The tranquility of this moment contrasts beautifully with the bustling activity nearby. A horse-drawn cart laden with goods occupies the road, symbolizing commerce and progress even in this idyllic setting. Perched on one side of the cart sits a young boy wearing a cap - perhaps he is taking respite after assisting his family or simply enjoying an adventurous ride through these scenic landscapes. This photograph not only offers us glimpses into Victorian-era Cornish life but also serves as testament to how much history can be encapsulated within one frame. It invites us to imagine ourselves amidst those cobblestone streets and lush greenery while pondering upon lives lived long ago.
