EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1994, we are transported back to the historic town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall, where a momentous occasion is taking place. The image showcases the newly appointed Mayor and Mayoress of Lostwithiel, George and Wendy Stuchbery, who have just assumed their esteemed roles within the community. Dressed in resplendent regalia, Councillor Stuchbery dons a striking bicorn hat and elegant robes that exude an air of authority and tradition. This ceremonial attire pays homage to the rich Cornish heritage that has shaped this picturesque region for centuries. The photograph captures not only the couple's proud expressions but also hints at the weighty responsibilities they now shoulder as representatives of their beloved town. Their commitment to public service shines through as they prepare to embark on a year-long tenure leading Lostwithiel with grace and dedication. Behind every great leader stands an equally remarkable partner, exemplified by Mayoress Wendy Stuchbery. Her presence radiates warmth and support as she accompanies her husband on this significant journey. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully freezes this poignant moment in time, immortalizing a pivotal event within Lostwithiel's history. Through his lens, he encapsulates both the solemnity of civic duty and the pride that permeates throughout this tight-knit community. This evocative print serves as a testament to those who selflessly devote themselves to public service while honoring Cornwall's vibrant traditions—a cherished memento preserved for generations
