EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1893, capturing a moment from the Cornwall County Fisheries Exhibition in Truro. The image showcases an open seine boat, adorned with fishing gear, resting peacefully on the tranquil waters of the River Kenwyn at Back Quay. The main exhibition site was located in a field atop Lemon Street and attracted visitors from near and far throughout its month-long run starting on July 25th. In this particular scene, we catch a glimpse of Matthews Limited's business premises in the background, although partially obscured by other elements. The signage hints at their presence as "Matthews Limited" can be discerned. The photograph is part of a series of glass lantern slides that meticulously documented various aspects of the Fisheries Exhibition. While we don't know who precisely captured this moment frozen in time, it serves as a testament to Victorian-era commerce and occupation within Cornwall's thriving fishing industry. As we admire this snapshot from history, let our imaginations wander through bustling shows and festivals celebrating all things fish-related. This print encapsulates not only an era but also pays homage to Cornish traditions that have shaped generations past and present - reminding us of the vital role fishing has played in shaping local communities along these rugged shores.
