EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall, in June 1911. The city is adorned with vibrant bunting, proudly displaying its excitement and anticipation for the momentous occasion - the Coronation of George V on the 22nd of June that year. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent City Hall exterior, which stands tall and majestic amidst the jubilant atmosphere. The photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only the grandeur of this architectural gem but also provides a glimpse into daily life at that time. We can see that despite being a momentous event for all Cornish people, life continues as usual; water pump, fountain and drinking troughs still stand undisturbed in their rightful place. This image transports us back to an era where celebrations were marked by such elaborate decorations and community spirit was palpable in every corner. It serves as a reminder of how significant royal events were celebrated throughout Cornwall's history. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print offers us a window into our past - an opportunity to reflect on moments when entire communities came together to celebrate their shared heritage and rejoice in national milestones.
