EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported to Gwennap, Cornwall. The image showcases a serene moment captured by photographer Samuel John Govier, featuring a woman engrossed in her reading while seated next to a pot of exquisite Arum lilies. It is believed that this tranquil scene may have unfolded at Trevince House. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and elegance as the woman finds solace amidst the beauty of nature. Bathed in soft sunlight filtering through nearby windows, she appears completely absorbed in her book, oblivious to the world around her. The delicate white petals of the Arum lilies provide a gentle contrast against her dark attire and add an ethereal touch to the overall ambiance.
