EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Tremorvah House, Truro, Cornwall, taken in the early 1900s. The image showcases the grandeur and elegance of this historic country estate nestled amidst the picturesque Cornish countryside. Built in 1845 by Sir Philip Prothero Smith, a prominent figure who held prestigious positions as Mayor of Truro and Under Sheriff of Cornwall, Tremorvah House was intended to be a sanctuary for him and his beloved Lady P. Smith. The photograph captures the essence of Victorian opulence as it focuses on Tremorvah House from its meticulously manicured formal garden. The sprawling lawns adorned with vibrant flowers provide a stunning backdrop to the stately architecture that exudes charm and sophistication. Through the lens of photographer Arthur Philp, we are transported back to an era where tranquility reigned supreme within these hallowed grounds. The image invites us to imagine leisurely strolls along gravel paths shaded by ancient trees or perhaps envision society gatherings hosted within these very walls. This remarkable print not only serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich history but also offers a glimpse into the lives led by those fortunate enough to call such magnificent estates their home. It is truly an exquisite piece that encapsulates both beauty and heritage for all admirers of Cornish culture.
