EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere of Market Strand, Falmouth, Cornwall. This print from the early 1900s transports you to a bygone era where horse-drawn buses ruled the streets and hats and caps adorned the heads of locals. Captured by renowned photographer Arthur Philp, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates a vibrant moment in history. As your eyes wander across the image, you can't help but be drawn to the three majestic horse buses that dominate the scene. Their elegant stature is juxtaposed against a sea of people who have gathered on Market Strand, creating an intriguing contrast between man-made transportation and human activity. The charm lies not only in observing these magnificent vehicles but also in studying the crowd that surrounds them. Each individual seems engrossed in their own world - some engaged in animated conversations while others are lost deep in thought or simply enjoying each other's company. The variety of hats and caps worn by both men and women adds character to this lively tableau. This remarkable print serves as a window into Falmouth's past, inviting us to reflect upon how much has changed over time while cherishing our connection with those who walked these very streets many years ago. It is a testament to our shared heritage and reminds us that even amidst progress, there will always be moments worth preserving for future generations to appreciate.
