EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the charming streets of Truro, Cornwall. The City Hotel and St Marys Terrace stand tall against a picturesque backdrop, exuding an air of grandeur and history. As we gaze up the hill, passers-by can be seen going about their daily routines, while a horse-drawn trap adds a touch of nostalgia to this bustling scene. The image captures not only the architectural beauty but also glimpses into everyday life during that era. A prominent sign advertising R. Menhennet, Mason catches our attention on the left side of the frame, reminding us of local businesses that once thrived in this vibrant community. Intriguingly, children playfully dot the street as they go about their youthful adventures. Their presence adds an element of innocence and joy to this otherwise busy setting. This print is more than just a visual delight; it serves as a monumental testament to Truro's rich heritage and its significance as a hub for commerce and social interactions in Cornwall. It transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone yet forever preserved through Arthur Philp's lens. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both the essence of Cornish culture and the timeless allure of street scenes that have shaped communities throughout history.
