EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s and capture the charm of a quintessential Cornish village with this photograph. Taken by Arthur Philp, this print depicts a bustling street scene in Flushing, Cornwall, where residents - mostly children - gather to watch their picture being taken. The vibrant colors and lively atmosphere transport us to a bygone era.
The photograph showcases the quaint shops and homes that line the street, with one shop visible on the right-hand side. The villagers' faces are filled with curiosity and excitement as they pose for the camera, unaware of the lasting legacy they would leave behind. The image is not only a testament to Philp's skill as a photographer but also a window into daily life in rural Cornwall during this period.
This charming snapshot offers a glimpse into the simple joys of childhood, where laughter and playfulness reign supreme. The children's innocence and carefree nature are palpable as they gaze directly at us from across time. Meanwhile, their parents or guardians look on proudly or discreetly observe from behind them.
As we gaze upon this nostalgic scene, we're reminded of simpler times when community was at its heart. This photograph serves as an evocative reminder of Flushing's rich history and heritage, inviting us to step into its picturesque streets once more.
