EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene in Truro, Cornwall. In this snapshot of history, we see a horse and cart gracefully navigating the cobbled streets of this charming town. The horse stands tall with its cornish harness adorned beautifully with brasses that glisten under the sunlight. The focus of the image is on the horse-drawn cart itself, proudly displaying the name "H. Growdon" along its side - a testament to its role as a carrier serving Truro's community during that era. The driver sits atop his perch, exuding an air of confidence as he guides both horse and cart through their daily journey. Photographed by Arthur Philp, this image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over the years. It offers us glimpses into an era where horses were relied upon for everyday tasks such as delivering goods or transporting people from one place to another. As we gaze at this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, it allows us to appreciate both the simplicity and beauty found within our past. It invites us to reflect on how much our world has changed while simultaneously cherishing those timeless elements that continue to shape our present-day experiences.
