EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Quay Hill, Falmouth, Cornwall. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent view from the top of Quay Hill down to the bustling harbor below. The scene is alive with activity as women in aprons stand on the street, perhaps engaged in conversation or observing passersby. Children can be seen walking up the hill, their youthful energy adding a sense of liveliness to the image. In the background, two carts pulled by sturdy horses hint at a thriving trade and transportation system that once thrived here. These humble vehicles were an essential part of daily life during that era and served as a reminder of simpler times. The identity of the photographer remains unknown; however, their skillful composition has allowed us to glimpse into this moment frozen in time. This photograph encapsulates not only Cornish heritage but also offers a window into everyday life during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it serves as a testament to how photography can preserve memories and transport us back through generations. It reminds us of our shared past and allows us to appreciate how much has changed while cherishing what remains constant - like Cornish streets filled with boats and timeless scenes etched forever within these frames.
