This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene of "The Promenade" in Penzance, Cornwall. The image showcases a bustling street filled with pedestrians strolling along the road and pavement, enjoying the fresh sea breeze. Men and women can be seen dressed in their finest attire, adding elegance to this charming coastal town. As we gaze at the photograph, our eyes are drawn towards the prominent buildings that line the promenade. On the near left stands The Queens Hotel, exuding grandeur with its impressive architecture. Beyond it lies the Mounts Bay Hotel, offering breathtaking views of Mount's Bay itself. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of The Church of St Mary the Virgin rising majestically against an azure sky. Its presence adds a touch of serenity to this lively scene. Various elements add character to this snapshot from history: railings guiding pedestrians safely along their way; a vintage pram reminding us of past generations; and an elegant lamp post illuminating evening walks by the sea. Notably, a lifebelt catches our attention - symbolizing safety and protection for those venturing into these waters. Photographed by Arthur Philp during what is believed to be around 1910, this remarkable image offers us a window into Penzance's rich heritage and timeless beauty.
