EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping back in time to the early 1900s, this print captures a group of people gathered outside a charming building in Kea, Cornwall. The image showcases three distinguished men and two elegant women, all exuding an air of sophistication and refinement. Seated in front are two gentlemen, one potentially identified as Mr Gill, the esteemed parish clerk of Kea. Their well-tailored attire speaks volumes about their status within the community. The attention to detail is remarkable; one gentleman proudly sports a delicate flower adorning his buttonhole, adding a touch of natural beauty to his ensemble. Photographer Ernest Chegwidden skillfully immortalized this moment with his lens, freezing it for generations to come. Surrounded by the picturesque Cornish landscape, we catch glimpses of the Daubuz-Killiow estate's serene waters and quaint cottages nestled nearby. The Victorian fashion choices are evident: mutton sleeves on dresses worn by the women and bowler hats atop the heads of some men further emphasize this era's style. This extraordinary photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten—a testament to both our rich history and enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time.
