EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum archives, we are transported back to the 7th of May, 1914, at the Grampound Show in picturesque Grampound, Cornwall. The image captures a thrilling moment during a point-to-point race as a horse and rider take an unexpected tumble over a traditional Cornish hedge. The scene is filled with palpable tension and concern as onlookers rush towards the fallen duo. Men clad in smart attire can be seen anxiously gathering around, their hats held tightly against their chests. Their worried expressions mirror the collective gasp that must have escaped from the crowd witnessing this dramatic accident. Amidst all this commotion, nature's beauty remains unyielding. Vibrant flowers bloom abundantly along the hedgerow, adding splashes of color to an otherwise somber tableau. It serves as a reminder that life continues even amidst unforeseen events. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures both action and emotion in this poignant snapshot frozen in time. His lens immortalizes not only an unfortunate incident but also showcases humanity's resilience when faced with adversity. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of our shared experiences across generations - moments of triumphs and setbacks alike - forever etched within our collective memory.
