EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from the early 1900s, we are transported back to a simpler time along the picturesque River Kenwyn in Cornwall. Three young girls, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, gather at the ford and footbridge of Treliske Lane. With fishing rods in hand and dressed in traditional Victorian attire, they embark on an adventure that will forever be etched into their memories. As they cast their lines into the tranquil waters of the river, one cannot help but notice a fourth girl seated amidst the lush green hedge nearby. Perhaps she is their mother or nanny, offering guidance and support as these young anglers explore nature's wonders. The bond between them is palpable; it speaks volumes about family ties and shared experiences. The talented photographer Arthur Philp has skillfully captured this timeless scene, showcasing not only his technical prowess but also his ability to encapsulate a moment frozen in time. Through his lens, we witness a snapshot of Cornish life during an era when simplicity reigned supreme. This remarkable photograph serves as a window into history—a testament to both childhood innocence and the natural beauty that surrounds us all. It reminds us of our deep connection with nature and how such simple pleasures can bring immeasurable joy even today.
