EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to around 1900, capturing a slice of Cornish life. In this image, we see a man proudly posing beside his donkey cart in Truro, Cornwall. The attention to detail is remarkable as we can clearly make out the words "J. Symons Truro" painted on the side of the cart. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when donkey carts were a common mode of transport in Cornwall. These humble yet reliable carriages played an essential role in transporting goods and people across the rugged Cornish landscape. The man's presence next to his trusty companion showcases their close bond and reliance on each other for their daily livelihoods. Photographer Arthur Philp skillfully captures not only the practicality but also the artistry involved in these traditional forms of transportation. The composition highlights both the craftsmanship that went into constructing such carts and harnesses, as well as their aesthetic appeal. Labelled "A Cornish Artizan" this image pays homage to skilled artisans who contributed significantly to Cornwall's heritage and economy during this period. It serves as a reminder of how transportation methods have evolved over time while honoring those who relied on these means for their livelihoods. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit—a testament to Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry captured through Arthur Philp's lens at its finest.
