EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to the enchanting world of Victorian Cornwall. The Rowe family, residents of Coverack Bridges in Wendron, stand proudly outside their charming thatched cottage, exuding a sense of timeless elegance. It is the 1890s, and they have donned their Sunday best clothes for this special occasion. The family poses gracefully for the photographer, Samuel John Govier, capturing a moment frozen in time. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the era; women wearing long skirts with high collars and men sporting tailored suits with bowler hats. Each member radiates an air of dignity and pride as they gather together on their doorstep. As our eyes wander beyond the Rowe family's picturesque home, we notice a neighbor peering curiously from her garden in the background. Her presence adds depth to this snapshot of rural life - a reminder that community bonds were strong even amidst breathtaking landscapes. This print not only encapsulates Cornish history but also offers us a glimpse into everyday life during an era marked by social change and industrial progress. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and enduring familial connections
