EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the late 1800s, this print captures the essence of Back Quay in Truro, Cornwall. Standing on the Lemon Street bridge, we are granted a picturesque view down Kenwyn River at high tide. The scene is alive with activity as sailing barges gracefully line the riverbanks by Lemon Quay on the right side of the frame. The photographer behind this remarkable image is none other than Arthur Philp, whose keen eye for detail and composition beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time. Philp's mastery allows us to step into an era where Victorian and Edwardian influences shape both architecture and fashion. Intriguingly, this particular photograph showcases a building belonging to N Gill Son - not affiliated with any commercial use but rather adding historical context to our journey through Truro's past. As we explore every inch of this print, it becomes evident that each element has been thoughtfully captured; from the intricate details of buildings lining Back Quay to the gentle ripples on Kenwyn River's surface. This stunning visual artifact now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection – serving as a portal connecting us with generations long gone. It offers an opportunity for reflection upon Truro's rich maritime heritage and invites us to appreciate how much has changed over time while cherishing what remains.
