EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured slide captures a mesmerizing view of Truro, Cornwall around 1890. Taken from the renowned "Tour through Cornwall" collection, this particular image showcases the city's cathedral in its early stages of construction, notably missing its central tower. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to an already intriguing scene. Truro, known for its rich history and architectural marvels, is beautifully depicted in this print. The vibrant hues meticulously added by hand enhance the charm and character of the photograph. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Truro's development. The absence of the cathedral's central tower offers us a unique glimpse into its past. We can only imagine the anticipation that must have filled the hearts of those witnessing this grand structure taking shape before their eyes. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's extensive archives, this print serves as a testament to both our fascination with history and our desire to capture fleeting moments for future generations to appreciate. It reminds us that even though time may pass and landscapes may change, there will always be remnants left behind – fragments that allow us to connect with our ancestors and understand how far we've come. As we admire this hand-coloured slide from Tour through Cornwall (No. 12), let us reflect on Truro's evolution over centuries while appreciating the craftsmanship involved in capturing such delicate details on film so long ago.
