EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the quaint village of St Keverne in Cornwall, capturing a slice of history frozen in time. The focus is on a beautifully carved cut-stone embedded within the wall of Melrose House, an enchanting cottage that exudes charm and character. The inscription on the stone reveals its intriguing backstory - "Built AD 1739 by Dorcas Pym". These words transport us to a bygone era when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount. It speaks volumes about the pride taken in constructing this humble abode, as well as providing a glimpse into the lives of those who once called it home. Melrose House is part of a trio of Grade II listed cottages, standing proudly alongside their neighboring structures: Travellers Joy and an adjoining cottage. Together, they form an architectural ensemble that showcases traditional Cornish design at its finest. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures not only the intricate details of this cut-stone but also manages to convey the rustic beauty that permeates throughout St Keverne. His lens transports us back to 1978 when life moved at a slower pace and simplicity reigned supreme. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how important it is to preserve our heritage and honor those who came before us. This photograph serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an invitation for future generations to appreciate Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry.
