EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the bustling Cattle Market at Castle Hill, Truro, around 1920. The image captures a vibrant scene of farmers and their livestock against the backdrop of picturesque Cornwall. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully frames this snapshot of rural life, showcasing the region's rich agricultural heritage. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness farmers engaged in lively exchanges as they navigate through a sea of sheep. The market is abuzz with activity; it is evident that this gathering was not just about buying and selling animals but also served as a social hub for local farming communities. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of Cornish farming practices but also in its ability to transport us to an era long gone. It offers glimpses into a simpler way of life where hard work and close-knit relationships were fundamental values. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, let us appreciate the dedication and resilience exhibited by these individuals who shaped our agricultural landscape. This image serves as a poignant reminder that despite modern advancements, agriculture remains deeply rooted within Cornwall's identity - forever intertwined with its history and culture.
