EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Lerryn, St Veep, Cornwall in 1914. The focal point of this enchanting scene is undoubtedly the bridge that gracefully spans over the tranquil River Fowey. Its elegant arches and sturdy stone construction are a testament to both engineering prowess and timeless beauty. In this idyllic setting, we catch a glimpse of everyday life as a lady sits outside her charming cottage by the bridge engrossed in a book. Surrounded by nature's splendor, she finds solace and escape within its pages. The warm sunlight casts gentle shadows on her peaceful face, creating an atmosphere of tranquility that seems to permeate every corner of this quaint Cornish village. Photographer Herbert Hughes has masterfully captured not only the physical elements but also the intangible essence of Lerryn at that moment in history. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance - from the delicate ripples on the river's surface to the intricate textures adorning each stone. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time; our senses awakened by sights and sounds long since faded away. It serves as a reminder of how photography can preserve precious moments forever, allowing future generations to connect with their heritage and marvel at Cornwall's enduring charm.
