EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from around 1920, we are transported back in time to the Cornwall County Council Dairy School in Truro. The image showcases a remarkable moment of achievement and recognition for Miss A. J. Nicholas, the first prize winner at both the prestigious Crystal Palace and Royal Cornwall Show between 1910-1920. Standing proudly beside her is Mr Forbes, one of the esteemed committee members who played a vital role in supporting this educational institution. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of Cornish heritage and women's contribution to agriculture during that era. Both Miss Nicholas and Mr Forbes exude an air of accomplishment as they stand amidst their dairy school surroundings. Dressed in traditional aprons, symbolizing their dedication to hard work and craftsmanship, these individuals embody the spirit of resilience that defined Cornwall's farming community. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a significant chapter in Cornish history when education and agricultural excellence were highly valued. It serves as a testament to the commitment of those involved with the Cornwall County Council Dairy School towards advancing knowledge within rural communities. This print holds immense cultural significance; it reminds us of our predecessors' determination to improve themselves through education while honoring women's contributions within traditionally male-dominated fields like farming. As we admire this image today, let us celebrate these unsung heroes whose legacy continues to shape our understanding and appreciation for Cornish heritage.
