EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Morvah in Cornwall, circa 1911. Standing proudly by the side of a winding road, an old stone-built cottage steals the spotlight. Its weathered exterior tells tales of a rich history and whispers secrets from days gone by. Surrounded by a sturdy stone wall that encloses both its sides and rear, this cottage exudes an air of solitude and mystery. The passage of time has left its mark on the building, rendering it derelict and abandoned. Yet amidst its dilapidation, one can't help but wonder about the stories that unfolded within these walls. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully captures not only the essence of this forgotten dwelling but also hints at another structure that once stood beside it. Perhaps there was once a bustling community thriving here or maybe just another humble abode lost to history's embrace. As our gaze extends beyond this solitary cottage, more buildings come into view - remnants of lives lived long ago. Each structure holds fragments of memories waiting to be discovered and cherished once again. This evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a poignant reminder that even in abandonment lies beauty; each crumbling brick is testament to human existence etched into landscapes we call home.
