EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of history at Jacob's Ladder in Falmouth, Cornwall. Standing proudly against the picturesque backdrop of Summer Hill, this iconic staircase has been an integral part of the town's landscape for centuries. Eleven individuals grace these granite steps, their presence adding life and character to the scene. Among them are children who exude innocence and curiosity as they explore every nook and cranny of this magnificent structure. The ladder itself is steeped in rich heritage; it was originally constructed by Jacob Hamblen, a multifaceted entrepreneur who sought to connect his property on top of Summer Hill with his businesses below on the Moor. Dating back to the late 18th century, Jacob's Ladder underwent significant transformations over time. In 1840, it was replaced with an impressive set of 111 granite steps that have endured through generations. This photograph captures not only its architectural grandeur but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Arthur Philp, whose lens skillfully immortalizes both people and place. Through his lens, we can almost feel the cool breeze sweeping across our faces as we ascend or descend these historic stairs ourselves. This cornish gem stands tall today as a symbol of unity between different parts of Falmouth while serving as a reminder of its industrious past. Let us cherish this glimpse into Edwardian-era Cornwall—a moment frozen in time that continues to inspire awe and wonder for all those fortunate enough to lay eyes upon it.
