EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Boscawen, Truro in the 1910s. The focal point is Farrows Bank, an iconic landmark that proudly stands on the north side of Boscawen Street. Its grand architecture and ornate details reflect a time when banks were revered institutions exuding stability and trust. Amidst this vibrant scene, our attention is drawn to a young boy positioned on the left-hand side of the photograph. His presence adds a touch of innocence and curiosity to this snapshot frozen in time. Perhaps he was captivated by the comings and goings of daily life or simply lost in his own world, oblivious to the significance this image would hold for future generations. The skilled photographer behind this remarkable piece is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized countless moments throughout Cornwall's history. Through his lens, we are transported back over a century ago, allowing us to witness firsthand how life unfolded on these very streets. As we delve into this photographic treasure from Royal Cornwall Museum, it's important to appreciate its cultural value beyond any commercial use. This image serves as a testament to our shared heritage and offers glimpses into an era long gone but not forgotten—a window into Truro's past that continues to intrigue and inspire all who lay eyes upon it.
