EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from September 1902 transports us back in time to the picturesque Eathorne Bridge in Constantine, Cornwall. The scene is beautifully framed by a horse-drawn trap, which adds an air of nostalgia to the image. On the right side of the bridge's gate, a woman and young girl stand, perhaps taking a moment to admire their surroundings. The significance of this particular spot becomes evident as we notice the milestone on the left side of the frame. This humble stone marks not only a physical divide but also symbolizes the boundary between two parishes: Constantine and Mabe. It serves as a reminder that even within such idyllic landscapes, there are divisions that shape communities. Through the trees in Mabe parish stands Bridge Cottage, built in 1836. Its presence adds depth to this snapshot of history, showcasing how human settlements have blended harmoniously with nature for centuries. This print captures more than just a scenic view; it encapsulates life at that specific moment in time. It invites us to reflect on our own connection with place and community while appreciating both natural beauty and architectural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we can't help but feel grateful for its preservation—a window into Cornwall's past that continues to inspire awe today.
