Poster Prints from Royal Cornwall Museum
Jubilee Procession in a Cornish Village, A. G. Sherwood Hunter (1846-1919)
Oil on canvas, Newlyn School, June 1897. This painting is a wonderful record of a lantern procession held to commemorate Queen Victorias Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The women and girls in the procession, all dressed in white and carrying Chinese lanterns, are shown snaking their way through the Cornish fishing village of Newlyn. George Sherwood Hunter was born in Aberdeen and visited Newlyn around the turn of the century. He settled there permanently in 1902 where he taught alongside Stanhope and Elizabeth Forbes at the Newlyn School of Painting. Like many artists associated with the Newlyn School, Hunter was interested in depicting working people around the ports and villages of Cornwall. The painting underwent considerable conservation and restoration in 2010 which meant that, for the first time in over 100 years, the exquisitely painted faces of those in the procession could be seen in all their subtle glory. The delicate beauty in the childrens faces is made more remarkable when one takes into consideration the very limited palette Hunter works with

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting by Scottish artist A. G. Sherwood Hunter captures the enchanting scene of a lantern procession held in the Cornish fishing village of Newlyn to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The women and girls in the procession, dressed in white and carrying intricately designed Chinese lanterns, weave their way through the narrow streets of the village. Born in Aberdeen, Hunter visited Newlyn around the turn of the century and settled there permanently in 1902, where he became a prominent figure in the Newlyn School of Painting. Known for his interest in depicting the working people and communities around the ports and villages of Cornwall, this painting is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of rural life in the region. The delicate beauty of the children's faces in the procession is particularly noteworthy, all the more remarkable when one considers the limited palette Hunter employs in his work. The painting underwent extensive conservation and restoration in 2010, revealing for the first time in over a century the intricate details and subtlety of the exquisitely painted faces and lanterns. This work of art is a valuable record of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring allure of the Cornish countryside.
