EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Market Street, Falmouth, Cornwall taken in the early 1900s. The image transports us to a bustling era where horse-drawn carts and curious boys filled the streets. At the heart of it all stands John Burton's Old Curiosity Shop, an enchanting establishment that beckons passersby with its intriguing collection of curios and antiques. The scene is alive with activity as locals go about their daily routines. A group of boys, donning caps that were fashionable at the time, gather near the shopfront, perhaps sharing stories or planning their next adventure. Their youthful energy adds a touch of vibrancy to this nostalgic snapshot. As we explore further into the frame, our eyes are drawn to various signs adorning nearby buildings - each one telling its own story. These faded remnants offer glimpses into businesses long gone but not forgotten. Photographer Arthur Philp has skillfully captured a moment frozen in time; his lens expertly framing every detail from architectural nuances to expressions on faces passing by. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an era defined by simplicity and charm. Whether you have personal ties to Falmouth or simply appreciate historical photography, this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum is sure to evoke feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about days gone by.
