EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Swanpool Street, Falmouth, Cornwall, in the year 1907. The corner street view captured by Alfred Newton And Sons showcases a bustling urban scene filled with horse-drawn vehicles and people going about their daily lives. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to an era where carts pulled by majestic horses were the primary mode of transport. The streets are alive with activity as pedestrians stroll along the sidewalks, perhaps on their way to one of the charming shops that line the road. The image offers a glimpse into early 20th-century life; it is a visual time capsule frozen in black and white. Every detail tells a story - from the elegant architecture adorning buildings to the bicycles parked against lampposts. It's fascinating how much has changed since then while also recognizing familiar elements that have stood the test of time. Alfred Newton And Sons have masterfully captured this vibrant moment in history, allowing us to step into their lens and experience what life was like over a century ago. This photograph serves as both a reminder of our shared past and an invitation for reflection on how far we've come as society continues to evolve.
