EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1911-1912, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion at The Cathedral in Truro, Cornwall. Standing tall and majestic, the cathedral serves as the backdrop for an extraordinary visit by two prominent figures of British royalty - Prince Edward, the Prince of Wales (later known as King Edward VIII) and his younger brother, Prince Albert, the Duke of York (who would later become King George VI). As they arrive at the cathedral on a private visit, their motor car gracefully glides through a sea of enthusiastic crowds. Excitement fills the air as locals gather to catch a glimpse of these distinguished visitors. Policemen stand watchfully nearby, ensuring order and security amidst all the commotion. The identity of the photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown; however, their skillful composition captures not only the grandeur of The Cathedral but also highlights an important moment in history. This image provides us with a rare glimpse into Cornwall's rich royal heritage. With its intricate architectural details and towering spires reaching towards heaven itself, The Cathedral stands as both a symbol of faith and cultural significance within Cornwall. And on that fateful day captured forever in this photograph print, it became even more so - witnessing firsthand two future kings who would leave an indelible mark on British history. This print is not just an artifact; it is a window into our past—a testament to our enduring fascination with royalty and our connection to those who have shaped
