EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Cornwall County Fisheries Exhibition of 1893, captured in this remarkable photo print. The interior of the exhibition hall comes alive with a vibrant display of exhibits, showcasing the rich maritime heritage and thriving fishing industry that defined Truro during the Victorian era. Amongst the captivating displays are intricately crafted model boats, capturing the essence of seafaring life. Standing proudly amidst these treasures is J. Pearson's stand, a renowned jeweller from 6 Boscawen Street in Truro. His advertisement highlights Cornish serpentine jewelry and ornaments, reflecting both local craftsmanship and pride. The exhibition site itself was transformed from a humble field at Lemon Street's summit into a grand spectacle that drew visitors far and wide for an entire month starting on July 25th. A testament to its success is evident through an advert placed in The Cornishman on September 7th, announcing the auctioning off of materials used for constructing these magnificent buildings at The Green in Truro on September 20th. This glass lantern slide captures not just a moment frozen in time but also offers us glimpses into occupations tied to fishing and commerce that shaped Cornwall's history. Immerse yourself in this snapshot from yesteryears as you explore an era where fish were more than just sustenance; they represented livelihoods, festivals, shows - all woven together by Victorian ingenuity.
