EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1906 takes us back in time to the quaint village of Rumford, nestled in the picturesque St Ervan region of Cornwall. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in history, a view down the street reveals charming cottages and cobblestone pathways that exude an undeniable Edwardian charm. In this scene, our attention is immediately drawn to a little girl on the left side of the frame. Dressed in a pristine white pinafore, her name was Emma - a name that would soon be forever linked with James Tippett through marriage. Emma's youthful innocence radiates as she stands amidst her ancestral home. On the right side of the photograph stand two figures who are undoubtedly filled with pride and love for their granddaughter. These elderly individuals represent Emma's grandparents; their weathered faces tell stories of resilience and wisdom acquired over years spent living within these very streets. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but they have gifted us with an extraordinary glimpse into this bygone era. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to family ties and generations past. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this poignant photograph evokes nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of our shared human experiences across centuries. It invites contemplation about how life has changed since then and encourages appreciation for those who came before us – shaping our present-day existence.
