EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the GWR jigsaw puzzle of A Cornish Fishing Village, produced in 1930. The image transports us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of life in a quaint coastal village nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Cornwall. The intricate details and vibrant colors depicted in this puzzle are truly mesmerizing. Each piece tells its own story, inviting us to explore every nook and cranny of this charming fishing village. From the bustling harbor filled with colorful fishing boats to the picturesque cottages lining narrow cobblestone streets, it is as if time stands still within this idyllic scene. As we gaze upon this photo print, we can almost hear the seagulls calling out overhead and feel the salty breeze on our faces. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when communities thrived on their close-knit relationships and relied on traditional trades like fishing for their livelihoods. This GWR jigsaw puzzle served not only as entertainment but also as publicity for both Cornwall's natural beauty and GWR's commitment to showcasing Britain's finest destinations through their railway network. It reminds us that beyond being just an ordinary pastime or decorative item, puzzles have long been used as powerful tools for promotion and appreciation of local culture. In preserving this historical artifact at STEAM Museum of the GWR, we honor not only its artistic value but also its significance in promoting tourism during an era when travel was primarily done by rail.
