Samuel John Govier (1871-1967) was a pioneering photographer in the late 19th and early 20th century in Cornwall. In the early years he travelled on his bicycle or in a horse drawn van before setting up in a studio in Chacewater in 1907. Later, he also had a studio in St Agnes. In retirement he became a grocer in Chacewater where he lived. In the picture, his father holds a photograph for development and a number of photographs can be seen hanging on the open door of the van. Note: the van is not the same as that shown in TRURI : Pgovis.1 as it has been modified by cutting down on the windows. Photographer: Samuel John Govier
