EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1894, offering a glimpse into the historic South Gate of Launceston, Cornwall. The image showcases an enchanting view of Southgate Street, with its charming streets lined with shops and bustling Victorian-era activity. The South Gate itself stands proudly as a testament to medieval times when Launceston held the distinction of being the sole walled town in all of Cornwall. Its archway serves as a gateway between past and present, evoking images of defense and protection that were once crucial for this ancient settlement. Amidst this picturesque scene, we spot a young lad standing by an ornate street light, seemingly lost in his own thoughts or perhaps simply observing the vibrant life unfolding around him. His presence adds an element of innocence and curiosity to this historical tableau frozen in time. While the identity of the photographer remains unknown, their skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into daily life during this era. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as both a visual treasure trove for history enthusiasts and a poignant reminder that even centuries later, our connection to these moments can still be felt deeply within our souls.
