EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the 11th of June, 1919. The City Hall in Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall stands proudly as the backdrop for an extraordinary moment in history. The Prince of Wales, who would later become Edward VIII, graces us with his presence alongside a distinguished group of dignitaries and the mayor. The scene is bustling with excitement and anticipation as motor cars line up outside the City Hall. Vibrant flags flutter in the breeze, adding a touch of regality to this special occasion. The streets are filled with crowds eager to catch a glimpse of royalty and be part of this historic event. Everyone is dressed their best; hats adorn heads while eyes sparkle with admiration for their future king. It's evident that this visit holds great significance for both locals and visitors alike. Captured by Arthur William Jordan's skilled lens, this photograph immortalizes a moment when tradition meets modernity - where Cornish heritage converges with royal prestige. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich history but also highlights how communities come together to celebrate such remarkable occasions. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel privileged to witness such an iconic moment through the lens of one talented photographer at Royal Cornwall Museum.
