EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the momentous opening of The Prince of Wales Pier on a sunny day in Falmouth, Cornwall. Taken by the talented photographer Arthur Philp on May 5th, 1905, this image captures the essence of a bustling seaside town. The scene is alive with activity as rowing boats gracefully glide through the calm waters surrounding the pier. Cornish flags flutter proudly atop some of these vessels, symbolizing local pride and heritage. In the background, we see charming buildings lining the waterfront, their architectural details adding character to this picturesque setting. As our gaze wanders further, our eyes are drawn towards rolling hills that provide a stunning backdrop to this coastal paradise. These natural formations seem almost ethereal against an azure sky dotted with fluffy clouds. In this timeless snapshot frozen in history, we can feel the excitement and anticipation that must have filled Falmouth on that special day over a century ago. The Prince of Wales Pier stands tall and proud as it opens its gates for locals and visitors alike to enjoy its splendor. This remarkable photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry and documentation. It serves as a reminder of how places evolve while still retaining their unique charm throughout generations - a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring beauty.
