EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Boscawen Street in Truro, Cornwall, believed to be taken on the 27th of May in 1913. However, it is possible that this snapshot was captured even earlier. The street is adorned with an array of colorful decorations, most likely put up for the prestigious Bath and West Show. As we gaze upon this historic scene, horse-drawn vehicles gracefully pass by the Coinage Hall while a bustling crowd gathers outside City Hall on the right side of the frame. The architectural beauty of Truro shines through as we catch a glimpse of the iconic Red Lion Hotel standing proudly on the left-hand side. This image transports us back in time to an era when life moved at a different pace and traditions were cherished. Although we do not know who precisely immortalized this moment through their lens, their skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail within this remarkable photograph. Cornish flags fluttering high above add a touch of patriotic pride to this already picturesque setting. As we reflect upon this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us celebrate our shared heritage and marvel at how much has changed over time while also cherishing those aspects that have remained constant throughout history.
