EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting print captured by Jonathan Barker, we are transported back to the magical world of Fowey Regatta Week in August 1992. The Carnival Fairy Queen, resplendent in her regal attire, stands at the center of attention with her radiant attendants by her side. This moment took place within the picturesque grounds of Fowey Hall, where the Fairy Queen was crowned amidst a flurry of excitement and anticipation. As tradition dictates, following the coronation ceremony, a magnificent tableau led by a tractor set off on a whimsical journey through the charming streets of Fowey. Adorned with flower posies and bouquets that exude vibrant colors and fragrant scents, these fairy-like figures danced gracefully around town. Their tiaras glistened under the summer sun while their sashes proudly displayed their Cornish heritage. This photograph encapsulates not only an extraordinary event but also showcases Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry. It serves as a testament to the enduring traditions that have been passed down through generations in this idyllic coastal region. Jonathan Barker's skillful lens has immortalized this fleeting moment for us all to marvel at and cherish forever. As we gaze upon this image from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded of the beauty found in community celebrations and how they can transport us into realms filled with wonderment and joy.
