EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Little Petherick, Cornwall, before the year 1904. The image beautifully captures a scene of rural life and transport during that era. In the foreground, we see two ladies joyfully riding in a donkey cart as it navigates the turning below the church. Their smiles reflect their delight in this leisurely mode of transportation. The focus then shifts to an unidentified gentleman standing proudly in front of his house, observing the passing cart with interest. His presence adds a touch of charm and authenticity to this snapshot from history. As our gaze extends beyond this charming group, we are greeted by picturesque views overlooking the bridge that was constructed back in 1820. This architectural marvel not only connects different parts of Little Petherick but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress. It is worth noting that this photograph predates the construction of the church hall in 1904, which further emphasizes its historical significance. The absence of modern developments allows us to appreciate how life once thrived amidst simplicity and tranquility. With its rustic ambiance and timeless appeal, this print transports us into an enchanting world where villagers relied on humble donkey carts for their daily commutes through scenic Cornish landscapes.
