EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall in the year 1920. Standing tall and proud is Williamsons' double-decker open top motor bus, a true marvel of its era. The magnificent vehicle dominates Princes Street, with the iconic Truro Cathedral majestically peering over its shoulder in the background. The details captured within this snapshot are remarkable. From the distinct license plate number AF2313 proudly displayed on the front grill, to every intricate feature that adorns this vintage masterpiece - it's a testament to craftsmanship and innovation. The Cornish charm emanates from every corner of this photograph; you can almost hear the clip-clop of horses' hooves as they pass by. Transportation has come a long way since horse-drawn carriages lit by gas lamps roamed these very streets. This image encapsulates an era where progress was evident at every turn. A sturdy ladder rests against one side of the bus, perhaps hinting at maintenance or repairs required for such an impressive mode of transport. While we may not know who precisely immortalized this moment through their lens, we owe them our gratitude for preserving a slice of history that transports us effortlessly into yesteryears. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and modernization, there will always be beauty found in nostalgia and tradition.
