EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene of The Praze in Penryn, Cornwall. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn down Church Road, where quaint cottages line the street. The charm of Victorian and Edwardian architecture is evident in every detail. At the bottom of Truro Hill, three figures stand together - two young girls and a woman cradling a baby in her arms. Their presence adds life to this frozen moment in time. Perhaps they were locals going about their daily routines or visitors marveling at the beauty that surrounded them. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is Arthur Philp, whose skilled eye has immortalized this Cornish gem for generations to come. Through his lens, he captured not only buildings but also an essence of community and everyday life during that era. This print transports us back to a simpler time when horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets and gas lamps illuminated the night sky. It serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate how much has changed while cherishing what remains unchanged. As we admire this piece from the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let it serve as a reminder of our rich heritage and evoke feelings of nostalgia for those who have called Cornwall home throughout its storied past.
