EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a glimpse of a school room in Truro, Cornwall. Stepping into this educational haven, one can't help but be transported by the atmosphere of learning and discovery that once filled these walls. The scene unfolds with long benches neatly arranged, inviting young minds to gather for knowledge-sharing. At the front stands a sturdy desk adorned with two chairs, where an esteemed teacher would have guided their students through lessons of arithmetic or literature. A grand piano commands attention nearby, perhaps serving as both a source of inspiration and entertainment during breaks. Adding character to the space are two framed photographs of gentlemen displayed between the windows. These portraits serve as silent reminders of those who may have played significant roles in shaping education within this community. On either side of these windowsills rest two busts - timeless sculptures that symbolize wisdom and intellectual pursuit. Completing this immersive environment are framed paintings adorning the side walls; each stroke telling its own story while inspiring creativity among students fortunate enough to study here. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has masterfully captured not only an image frozen in time but also an essence - one that speaks volumes about Cornish education's rich history and commitment to fostering growth through artistry and sculpture. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of learning and teaching within our cities throughout generations past.
