EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the bustling streets of Newlyn, Cornwall. The scene is alive with activity, showcasing a vibrant street filled with trade signs that catch the eye. Amongst them, two prominent signs proudly display the names of J. C Harvey and A. Beckerleg - both esteemed shoe and boot makers of their time. The image beautifully captures a moment frozen in history, allowing us to glimpse into the daily life of this charming Cornish town over a century ago. The skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in these trade signs reflect not only the pride taken by local businesses but also provide insight into an era where quality was highly valued. Photographer Canon Henry Holroyd Mills skillfully frames this snapshot, capturing not just the signage but also subtly revealing glimpses of passersby going about their day. It is as if we are standing on that very street corner ourselves, immersed in its energy and witnessing a slice of everyday life unfold before our eyes. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of how much has changed since those days while preserving an important piece of Newlyn's rich heritage for generations to come.
