Truro, Cornwall. Possibly Sunday 23rd November, 1919 - A Glimpse into the Post-War Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - Truro's bustling streets on a possible Sunday in November 1919. The image captures an enchanting procession led by Mayor and church dignitaries, parading past Roberts chemist shop and Wills & Co general outfitters. As we delve into this snapshot of time, it becomes evident that this period marked the aftermath of World War One - known as the Great War. The cityscape exudes a sense of rejuvenation and resilience after years of turmoil and sacrifice. Truro stands tall with its buildings proudly displaying signs of local businesses that have weathered the storm. The composition invites us to imagine the atmosphere surrounding this eventful day; perhaps locals lined these very streets with anticipation, eager to witness their esteemed leaders pass by. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only the figures in procession but also showcases architectural details such as ornate facades and charming storefronts. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Cornish heritage during times both turbulent and triumphant. It transports us back to an era where communities rallied together amidst adversity while embracing hope for a brighter future ahead.
