EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, this print captures the essence of rural life in 1903. The enchanting scene showcases Crowgey Farm, nestled amidst rolling hills and verdant fields. A quaint lane winds its way towards the farmstead, flanked by a traditional Cornish hedge on one side and a serene duckpond on the other. Intriguingly, two adventurous boys are caught mid-action as they prepare to conquer the formidable Cornish hedge. Their youthful spirit and curiosity epitomize the timeless allure of exploring nature's wonders. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when farming was not just a livelihood but also an integral part of Cornwall's cultural heritage. Crowgey Farm itself belonged to Sampson Bosustow during this period, serving as both his home and place of work. Its rustic charm is beautifully preserved in this photograph, allowing us to appreciate the simplicity and tranquility that defined agricultural life over a century ago. While we may never know who skillfully captured this moment in time, their anonymous lens has gifted us with an invaluable window into Cornwall's past. As we admire this remarkable image from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let it serve as a reminder of our deep connection to our land and its rich farming traditions.
