EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a charming scene of Denas Water in Tresillian, Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque village setting with its quaint shops and an old post office standing proudly opposite the magnificent Holy Trinity Church. Amidst this idyllic backdrop, we are introduced to three young gentlemen who add life and character to the photograph. One of them is seen tenderly holding hands with a small boy, perhaps his younger sibling or son, symbolizing the strong sense of family and community that prevailed during those times. Another gentleman steals our attention as he proudly poses next to his prized possession - an early motor cycle bearing the license plate AF41. This vintage mode of transportation exudes adventure and innovation, highlighting how technology was beginning to shape society even in remote corners like Tresillian. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is believed to be Arthur William Jordan, whose skilled eye has immortalized this moment for generations to come. His keen attention to detail beautifully captures not only the physical surroundings but also offers us a glimpse into the lives of these individuals from yesteryears. As we admire this Victorian-era gem adorned by a rustic village signpost pointing towards Truro, we cannot help but feel transported back in time – embracing both nostalgia and curiosity about what life must have been like in Denas Water over a century ago.
