EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 11th of June, 1919, we witness a momentous occasion in Truro, Cornwall. The image captures Edward Prince of Wales, also known as the Duke of Cornwall and later King Edward VIII, amidst a sea of enthusiastic faces outside City Hall. The atmosphere is electric as the prince graciously acknowledges the crowd's adoration. Motor cars line Boscawen Street while flags flutter proudly in the wind, symbolizing both loyalty to royalty and national pride. The diverse gathering wears an array of stylish hats that add a touch of elegance to this historic event. This visit holds great significance for Truro as it marks the official opening of the Royal Institution of Cornwall's Museum building on River Street. It is evident from his regal presence that Prince Edward understands the importance of culture and heritage. Beyond his museum inauguration duties, His Highness also took time to attend another iconic local event –the Royal Cornwall Show held at Higher Newham Farm. This demonstrates his commitment to engaging with all aspects of Cornish life during his visit. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this extraordinary moment in history through his lens. His artistry allows us to relive this remarkable day when Truro welcomed its future king with open arms
