EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 1890s with this print capturing the view of Truro Cathedral in Cornwall. The cathedral, still unfinished at that time, stands tall and majestic against the backdrop of Poltisco. On its left, Isambard Kingdom Brunel's original timber fanned viaduct adds a touch of architectural marvel to the scene. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to the bustling cityscape below. Cornish houses and shops line the streets, exuding a sense of charm and character unique to this region. The wooden structures stand as a testament to an era long gone. The river meanders gracefully through Truro, reflecting both sunlight and shadows on its tranquil surface. Boats gently sway in their moorings along its banks, adding a touch of maritime beauty to this picturesque vista. Intriguingly captured by an unknown photographer, this image offers us a glimpse into daily life during that period. Notably featured is 'The Green, ' which would later become home to Truro's bus station—an evolution marking progress over time. This print serves as more than just an artifact; it transports us back in time while inviting contemplation about how cities evolve and grow throughout history.
