EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a slice of history in Gyllyngdune, Falmouth, Cornwall. The scene showcases an enchanting street leading through a narrow tunnel under a bridge, with the iconic Look-Out building perched gracefully above. It is as if time has stood still in this moment frozen by photographer Arthur Philp. In the foreground of this remarkable image, two schoolboys strike a pose for the camera at the entrance of the tunnel. Their youthful energy adds life and vibrancy to an otherwise serene setting. One can only wonder what dreams and adventures these young lads were embarking upon that day. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue; it invites us to explore further into this charming coastal town's past. The architectural beauty of Gyllyngdune Bridge is accentuated by its prominent position within the frame, while the tunnel beneath beckons us towards hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back in time to witness a snapshot of daily life in early 20th century Cornwall. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there are timeless elements that connect us to our roots – like these schoolboys who momentarily paused their journey through history for posterity's sake.
