EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Falmouth, Cornwall, around 1920. The view from the middle of the road near Clarke & Co, tailors at 37 and 38 Market Street offers a glimpse into daily life during this era. As we peer into the image, we are immediately drawn to the vibrant activity unfolding before our eyes. Pedestrians gracefully navigate their way through the street; their presence adding a sense of liveliness to this snapshot frozen in time. Amongst them is a telegraph boy donning his distinctive uniform, purposefully making his way through the crowd with an air of importance. A diligent workman carrying a basket adds another layer of authenticity to this scene - perhaps on his way to deliver goods or complete an errand. The photographer behind this remarkable capture is B. A. Curtis, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment forever. The composition beautifully frames Clarke & Co's storefront signage, subtly reminding us that commerce was thriving even then. As we gaze upon this historical gem preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years while also highlighting certain timeless aspects of human existence - such as people going about their daily routines amidst busy city streets. This photograph truly encapsulates both nostalgia and curiosity for those who yearn to explore Falmouth's rich history and heritage.
