EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Penzance, Cornwall, around 1900. The image showcases the intersection of Quay Street and Chapel Street, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this vibrant coastal town. As we peer through the stereoscopic view, our eyes are drawn up Quay Street towards the bottom of Chapel Street, where the magnificent Church of St Mary the Virgin stands tall and proud. The architectural beauty is juxtaposed against a backdrop filled with activity and charm. In the foreground on the left, we spot the Harbour Office - a hub of maritime affairs during that era. Beyond it lies The Dolphin and Dock Hotel; its presence hints at an inviting place for weary travelers to rest their heads after a long journey. The scene is further animated by Cornish carts traversing along these historic streets. These traditional modes of transportation add character to an already picturesque setting. Although we do not know who precisely captured this remarkable moment in time, their skill as a photographer shines through in every detail preserved within this print. Now housed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph allows us to immerse ourselves in Penzance's rich history while marveling at its timeless beauty.
