EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a simpler time in rural Cornwall. The image showcases Polquick Cottage, nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Rosedale, near Idless. With its thatched roof and stone walls, this charming cottage exudes an undeniable Cornish charm. In this exterior view captured by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, we witness a scene that epitomizes daily life in this idyllic countryside setting. A woman and child can be seen fetching water from a nearby stream, their figures gracefully silhouetted against the backdrop of lush greenery. The photograph captures not only the architectural beauty of Polquick Cottage but also offers a glimpse into the lives of those who called it home. It serves as a poignant reminder of how integral nature was to everyday existence during this era – where obtaining water required venturing out into nature's embrace. As we admire this historical snapshot preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to experience the simplicity and tranquility that once defined rural living in Cornwall. This image pays homage to both the enduring allure of traditional Cornish buildings and our shared human connection with nature
