EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of Ladock Post Office, nestled amidst the picturesque Cornish village. The image transports us to an era where postal service and telegraph played a vital role in connecting communities. Standing proudly in the doorway are two postmen, their uniforms reflecting the Edwardian style of the period. Their presence evokes a sense of dedication and reliability as they prepare to embark on their daily rounds. Outside the post office, an intriguing sight catches our attention - an army recruiting poster from that bygone era. This poignant reminder serves as a testament to the historical context surrounding Ladock during those times, when young men were called upon to serve their country. The photographer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this beautifully captured moment frozen in time. Etched on the negative is 'C. or G. Hoare, ' perhaps hinting at either a previous owner or proprietor associated with this quaint establishment. This remarkable print offers not only a glimpse into Cornwall's rich history but also invites us to reflect on how communication methods have evolved over centuries. It reminds us of the importance placed on maintaining connections within small communities like Ladock through reliable postal services and telegraph networks. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph stands as both an artful documentation and a tribute to those who dedicated themselves tirelessly towards ensuring efficient communication for all.
