EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "New Road, Falmouth, Cornwall" we are transported back in time to possibly 1911. The image beautifully captures a moment of tranquility and anticipation as a group of Cornish ladies elegantly line the street, adorned in their exquisite dresses and fashionable hats. Their presence adds an air of grace and sophistication to the scene. As our gaze wanders through the photograph, we notice charming lamp posts standing tall along the road, casting a warm glow on the cobblestones below. These lampposts not only illuminate the path but also symbolize progress and modernity that were gradually seeping into Falmouth during that era. The buildings surrounding New Road stand as silent witnesses to history unfolding before them. Each structure tells its own story - tales of bustling trade routes, maritime adventures, and local livelihoods intertwined with global influences. It is impossible not to imagine what these women might be watching so intently from their vantage point on New Road. Could it be ships majestically sailing into Falmouth's harbor? Perhaps they eagerly await loved ones returning from distant shores or simply marvel at the beauty of vessels gliding across azure waters. Photographer Arthur Philp skillfully captures this moment frozen in time; his lens immortalizes both the physical surroundings and intangible emotions evoked by this scene. This remarkable print serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage while inviting us to reflect upon our connection with history and those who came before
