EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1993, we are transported to the picturesque town of Fowey in Cornwall. The image captures a significant moment in the town's history - the induction of its new Mayor, Rhona Foster, and her deputy, Roger Blount. Standing proudly on the Town Quay with Fowey's charming harbor as their backdrop, Mayor Foster and Deputy Blount exude an air of dignity and civic responsibility. The regalia worn by these esteemed dignitaries is truly remarkable. Mayor Foster dons a magnificent chain of office that symbolizes her authority and leadership within the community. Her bicorn hat adds an elegant touch to her ensemble while paying homage to Cornish tradition. Deputy Blount stands alongside her with equal poise and grace. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures this historic moment, preserving it for generations to come. His lens perfectly frames not only the individuals but also showcases the beauty of Fowey's harbor - a testament to its rich maritime heritage. This print serves as a reminder of the importance placed on local governance and community spirit in Fowey. It encapsulates a time-honored tradition where elected officials take up their roles with pride and dedication. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph invites visitors to delve into Cornwall's vibrant past while celebrating those who have contributed significantly to their communities throughout history.
