EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1917, we are transported back to a time of great resilience and determination during the First World War. The image captures a group of men and women gathered outside Old County Hall in Truro, Cornwall, as they prepare to dig over the land for potato planting. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully freezes this moment in history, allowing us to witness their unwavering commitment to sustaining their community amidst the challenges of wartime. The scene is filled with an air of purposeful unity as both genders work side by side, embodying the spirit of solidarity that defined this era. Their faces reflect a mix of concentration and hope, knowing that these potatoes will provide vital sustenance during such trying times. As they break ground together, each shovel thrust represents not only physical labor but also an act of defiance against adversity. Cornwall's rich agricultural heritage shines through in this image; its fertile soil serving as a symbol of strength and nourishment for generations past and present. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder that even in times marked by conflict and uncertainty, communities can come together with determination and resourcefulness. Preserved within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph stands testament to the indomitable human spirit prevailing against all odds—a timeless tribute to those who labored diligently on home soil during WWI without seeking recognition or reward beyond securing sustenance for their loved ones.
