This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the enchanting winter of the 1910s. The image showcases Scawswater Bridge, nestled in the idyllic village of Idless, Cornwall. Renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this general view, transporting us into a bygone era. The scene is nothing short of breathtaking; a picturesque bridge stands proudly amidst a snow-covered landscape. Its stone arches gracefully span over an icy river below, creating a harmonious blend between man-made structure and natural beauty. The delicate dusting of snow on the surrounding trees adds an ethereal touch to this already mesmerizing tableau. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, it's impossible not to be captivated by its tranquility and serenity.

It invites us to reflect on our own lives today and appreciate both the technological advancements we enjoy while cherishing those quiet moments that connect us with nature's wonders. In preserving this historical gem, Royal Cornwall Museum allows future generations to glimpse into Cornwall's past—where bridges like Scawswater stood as symbols of unity and resilience against
