EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing general view of Truro, Cornwall from Poltisco, transporting us back to the early 1900s. The lens of Arthur William Jordan has skillfully framed this snapshot in time, showcasing the bustling cityscape with its charming streets and urban architecture. As our gaze wanders through the image, we are drawn towards Harveys timber yard that stretches across the foreground. Beyond it lies a tapestry of buildings nestled along the riverbank, forming the heart and soul of this vibrant town. The Lander Monument stands tall on the left side of the frame, reminding us of Truro's rich history and connection to explorer Richard Lemon Lander. To add an industrial touch to this picturesque scene, a gasometer looms on the right side. Its presence serves as a reminder of how technology was shaping cities during that era. The composition invites us to explore every nook and cranny within this historic landscape; each building holds stories untold while revealing glimpses into daily life in early 20th-century Truro. This print is not just an exquisite piece for art enthusiasts but also acts as a portal into Cornwall's past for those seeking nostalgia or historical insight.
