EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to Chapel Hill, Truro, Cornwall before 1910. The image captures a serene moment of the town's history, offering a glimpse into its past charm and character. From this vantage point, we are presented with a general view down the hill towards an incomplete cathedral that dominates the skyline. Its towering presence hints at the grandeur it would eventually possess once construction was complete. In the foreground, a horse-drawn cart leisurely makes its way through the cobbled streets, evoking images of simpler times when horsepower ruled transportation. People can be seen going about their daily lives, adding life and vitality to this snapshot frozen in time. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Arthur Philp whose keen eye for detail has allowed us to appreciate every intricate element within this scene. His composition beautifully captures both architectural splendor and human activity seamlessly blending together. As we gaze upon this photograph today at Royal Cornwall Museum, we cannot help but feel connected to those who walked these very streets over a century ago. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much our world has changed while also reminding us of our shared heritage. This print is not just an artifact; it is a window into history that allows us to reflect on our roots and appreciate the beauty that lies within even the simplest moments of everyday life in Truro, Cornwall.
