EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Waterfall Gardens in Truro, Cornwall. The exact date of this snapshot remains a mystery, but it beautifully captures a serene view looking southwards. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the majestic St Georges Chapel standing proudly on one side of the gardens, surrounded by charming houses along St Georges Road. Waterfall Gardens holds a significant place in history as they were established in 1893 and later incorporated into Victoria Gardens. These stunning botanical havens were created to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, adding an extra layer of grandeur and meaning to their existence. The photographer behind this mesmerizing shot is believed to be Arthur William Jordan, although not confirmed. His skillful composition allows us to appreciate the lush greenery that adorns these gardens - from towering trees casting shadows over winding paths adorned with vibrant flowers and shrubs meticulously planted throughout. As we immerse ourselves in this picturesque scene, it becomes evident why Waterfall Gardens became such a beloved recreational spot for locals and visitors alike. It offers respite from city life while providing ample space for leisurely strolls or peaceful contemplation under the shade of monkey puzzle trees
