EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling timber yard of Harveys, located on the picturesque Truro River in Cornwall. The scene captures a moment after 1910, evident from the completed Cathedral towers and Gas Works chimney visible in the background. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we are transported to an era when Cornwall's industry thrived. Harveys & Company Ltd. , renowned timber importers of their time, were undoubtedly at the heart of this vibrant riverside community. In this image, their timber raft gracefully floats along the tranquil waters of the Truro River, showcasing their vital role in supplying materials for construction projects across Cornwall. The composition skillfully frames both natural beauty and industrial progress. The towering spires of Truro Cathedral stand tall against a cloud-dappled sky while smoke billows from nearby chimneys—a testament to Cornwall's growing industrial landscape. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has masterfully captured not just a moment frozen in time but also a glimpse into Cornish history. This photograph serves as a reminder of how industries like Harveys shaped communities and contributed to Cornwall's development over generations. As we admire this remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate its significance beyond commercial use—allowing it to transport us back to an era where hard work met natural beauty on the banks of Truro River.
