EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - the rear view of a ceremony on The Green in Truro, Cornwall, on October 30th, 1919. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Arthur William Jordan, we are transported to the aftermath of World War One. The image captures an air of solemnity and reverence as colors are being laid up. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and serves as a tribute to those who fought valiantly for their country. The composition allows us to witness this historic event from behind, offering a unique perspective that adds depth and intrigue. The setting itself holds significance; The Green in Truro has witnessed countless gatherings throughout history but none quite like this one. Against its lush backdrop, emotions run high as individuals pay their respects and bid farewell to an era marked by turmoil and loss. Through this photograph, we can almost feel the weight of history resting upon our shoulders. It serves as a powerful testament not only to the events it depicts but also to our collective memory as humanity strives never to forget the lessons learned from such devastating conflicts. As we admire this piece at the Royal Cornwall Museum, let us reflect on how far we have come since that fateful day in 1919 while honoring those who gave everything for peace and freedom.
