EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Tregothnan gatehouse and drive in Tresillian, Cornwall during the early 1900s. The hand-coloured slide showcases the grand entrance to the esteemed Tregothnan Estate, with a picturesque driveway leading up to an open gate flanked by majestic trees on either side. Tregothnan has been proudly owned by the Boscawen family since 1334, serving as their cherished ancestral home for generations. The house itself was meticulously rebuilt by Edward Boscawen (1787-1841), who held the titles of fourth Viscount and First Earl of Falmouth. It stands near the location of a previous mansion, adding historical significance to its already impressive presence. One cannot help but be captivated by Tregothnan's vast historic garden, which holds distinction as Cornwall's largest. While this tranquil haven is typically reserved for private enjoyment, it graciously opens its gates to the public for one weekend each year. The identity of the talented photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown; nevertheless, their skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail of this timeless scene. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history—a testament to both architectural splendor and natural beauty that continues to define Tregothnan Estate today.
