EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1900s, this mesmerizing print titled 'Chainwalk under snow, Kenwyn, Cornwall' transports us back to a bygone era. The enchanting scene showcases the Chainwalk (or Chainfields) adorned with a fresh blanket of snow. Standing amidst the wintry landscape is a distinguished gentleman wearing a bowler hat and overcoat, his gaze fixed towards the city beyond. As we follow his line of sight, our eyes are drawn to the majestic church tower peeking through the snowy haze in the distance. The photographer Arthur Philp skillfully captures not only this solitary figure but also provides glimpses of life along Chainwalk. The rooftop of a house at its far end stands out against the white backdrop, adding depth and character to this frozen tableau. This image evokes an unmistakable sense of Victorian charm and Cornish heritage. It speaks volumes about Truro's rich history as footprints mark their presence on icy pathways while winter weather transforms familiar landscapes into ethereal scenes straight out of a storybook. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance – preserving memories that endure through time.
