EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1936, we are transported back to a simpler time when traditional Cornish pasties were made with love and care. The image captures the essence of rural life in the early twentieth century, between the wars. The scene unfolds in a rustic kitchen where a woman stands proudly next to an open fire oven. With her skilled hands, she expertly crafts these delectable treats that have become synonymous with Cornwall. The aroma of freshly baked pies fills the air as wisps of smoke dance around her. This snapshot not only showcases the artistry involved in creating these mouthwatering delicacies but also pays homage to tradition and authenticity. It is evident that every aspect of making these pasties is done meticulously, following age-old techniques passed down through generations. John Topham's monochrome composition adds depth and character to this timeless image. Through his lens, we witness a moment frozen in time - an ode to both culinary craftsmanship and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this photograph, our senses are awakened by visions of golden crusts filled with savory ingredients like beef, potatoes, onions, and swede. We can almost taste their hearty flavors just by looking at them. This remarkable print serves as a reminder that some things never change; even amidst modernity's whirlwind pace, there will always be room for traditions that bring us comfort and joy – like enjoying a classic Cornish pasty made the traditional way.
