EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to Cliff Road, Falmouth, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures a moment of everyday life in this charming coastal town. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to the picturesque view along Cliff Road, lined with quaint buildings and bustling with activity. In the foreground, pedestrians leisurely stroll along the road's edge, their attire reflecting the fashion of that era. Among them is a horse-drawn buggy gracefully making its way through the street. Its presence adds an element of nostalgia and reminds us of a bygone era when horses were still relied upon for transportation. As our gaze extends into the distance, we catch sight of what appears to be a milk float approaching on this idyllic road. This detail further immerses us in this historic moment and offers insight into daily life during that time period. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur William Jordan. Through his lens, he has captured not only a physical location but also preserved slices of history for future generations to admire and appreciate. This print serves as an invaluable window into Cornwall's past—a testament to its rich heritage and timeless beauty. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed over the years while reminding us of Cornwall's enduring charm that continues to captivate visitors today.
