EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from March 1993, we are transported to the charming town of Fowey in Cornwall. The image captures a significant moment in the town's history as it showcases two remarkable women who have played pivotal roles in their community. On the left stands Marilyn Wellman, proudly donning her St John Ambulance uniform, symbolizing her commitment to serving others. Her dedication to public service is evident as she exudes confidence and compassion. Beside Marilyn stands Rhona Foster, the Mayor-elect of Fowey at that time. With an air of anticipation surrounding her, Rhona eagerly awaits her upcoming installation ceremony scheduled for May. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the transition of power and leadership within this tight-knit Cornish community. The setting adds depth to the narrative; we find ourselves amidst a picturesque churchyard adorned with elegant railings that stand as guardians of tradition and heritage. The juxtaposition between these sturdy railings and the vibrant personalities depicted further emphasizes the resilience and unity found within Fowey. This snapshot serves as a testament to civic duty, camaraderie, and female empowerment within local governance—a reminder that progress can be achieved through collective efforts rooted in compassion for one another. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures this historic moment frozen in time, forever preserving its significance for future generations at Royal Cornwall Museum
