Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of Alexandra Terrace, Truro, Cornwall. As winter blankets the town with a thick layer of snow, the charm and tranquility of this picturesque scene are truly mesmerizing. The view up Alexandra Terrace reveals a couple strolling down the hill, their footprints leaving trails behind them on the untouched white canvas. Towards the top of the terrace, two mischievous boys can be seen eagerly preparing for an epic snowball fight. Their eyes gleam with excitement as they gather ammunition for what promises to be an exhilarating battle amidst nature's icy playground. Captured by renowned photographer Arthur Philp, this snapshot freezes a moment in time where life was simpler yet filled with joyous adventures. Philp's keen eye beautifully captures not only the architectural splendor of Alexandra Terrace but also its harmonious integration into its wintry surroundings. This remarkable photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back to an era when winters were embraced rather than feared. It evokes memories of laughter echoing through snowy streets and warm hearts brimming with anticipation for cozy evenings by crackling firesides. As you gaze upon this enchanting image, allow yourself to be transported to a Cornish winter wonderland that once was—a place where love and camaraderie flourished against a backdrop of glistening snowflakes dancing in harmony with nature's beauty.
