EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1900s, this beautifully preserved print showcases a posed group that is believed to be a wedding party. The central figure, Mr Warren, possibly Henry Warren of Colorian, stands proudly surrounded by his loved ones in Ludgvan, Cornwall. The composition exudes elegance and sophistication with its diverse ensemble. Two young women take center stage, adorned in exquisite white dresses and elaborate hats that perfectly complement their vibrant bouquets. Their radiant smiles hint at the joyous occasion they are celebrating. An elderly woman dressed in black adds a touch of solemnity to the scene, while five well-dressed men stand beside her wearing their finest clothes and sporting flowers delicately pinned to their buttonholes. Each gentleman emanates an air of pride and camaraderie. Although partially obscured due to damage on the emulsion surface, a sixth figure can be faintly discerned on the left-hand side—a mysterious presence adding intrigue to this portrait. Photographed by Samuel John Govier—an artist known for capturing timeless moments—the image not only documents Edwardian fashions but also offers glimpses into Cornish traditions surrounding marriage celebrations. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of these individuals' attire and relive the excitement surrounding weddings during that era.
