EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the bustling town centre of Penzance in the early 1900s. The image captures a vibrant scene, showcasing the heart of this Cornish coastal town. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a different era, where life unfolded at a slower pace. In the foreground, we see an array of charming buildings lining both sides of Market Jew Street. The road and pavement are filled with pedestrians going about their daily routines; men and women dressed in period attire stroll along, perhaps running errands or engaging in friendly conversations. A magnificent clock tower stands tall amidst this lively setting, reminding everyone that time is always ticking away. Our eyes are drawn towards Humphrey Davy's statue located in the mid-ground - a tribute to one of Cornwall's most celebrated scientists. This bronze figure serves as a reminder of Penzance's rich history and its contributions to scientific advancements. As our gaze wanders further into the photograph, we notice various shops displaying their wares through large windows adorned with flags and signs. A flagpole proudly stands nearby while a weather vane atop one building hints at prevailing winds off the coast. Through this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves immersed within Penzance's past: witnessing its energetic atmosphere and feeling connected to those who once walked these very streets. It serves as both an educational piece for historians and an enchanting window into bygone days for all who appreciate nostalgia and
