EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1904, capturing a moment in time at Lanyon Coach builders on Falmouth Road in Redruth, Cornwall. The photograph showcases an exquisite horse-drawn coach proudly displaying the words "To and from Stithians" painted on its side. This charming detail suggests that this particular vehicle was used as a means of transportation for the people of Stithians, connecting them with neighboring towns. As we delve deeper into the image, our eyes are drawn to an intriguing advertisement pasted onto the wall of the coach builders' establishment. It promotes Maxwell Codys American Cowboy Company wild west performance, adding a touch of excitement and exoticism to this quaint Cornish scene. One can only imagine how locals must have eagerly anticipated such thrilling spectacles brought all the way from America. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye has immortalized this slice of history for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, he captures not just a simple coach or an advertisement but also a glimpse into daily life in early 20th century Cornwall. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print serves as both a testament to our rich cultural heritage and a reminder of how much has changed over time. It invites us to reflect upon our ancestors' modes of transport and entertainment while marveling at their ingenuity and resourcefulness.
