EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases "The Praze" in Penryn, Cornwall. The image captures a moment frozen in time, where bustling streets intersect at the junctions of Truro Lane on the left and Truro Hill on the right. The charm of this historic Cornish town is beautifully preserved within this frame. Intriguingly, a diverse group of adults and children have momentarily paused for the unknown photographer's lens. Their presence adds life to this snapshot of days gone by, offering us a glimpse into their world and stories that remain untold. Notably, two Policemen stand prominently amidst the crowd, perhaps keeping watch over this vibrant community or simply taking a break from their duties to acknowledge the camera's presence. Their uniforms symbolize order and security against an ever-changing backdrop. This photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for both Victorian and Edwardian eras when life moved at a different pace. It transports us back to an era defined by cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and gas lamps illuminating evening strolls. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print serves as an invaluable historical artifact capturing not only architectural details but also human interactions during simpler times. Its significance lies in its ability to transport viewers into another century while igniting curiosity about those who once called The Praze home.
