EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1919, we are transported back in time to the heart of Truro, Cornwall. The Women's Institute members gather together for a momentous occasion - the two-day bazaar held at their St Mary's Street building on December 5th and 6th. Posing proudly for the photographer, Arthur William Jordan, these remarkable women exude strength and camaraderie. Their faces radiate with determination as they stand united under a banner that reads "God save the King" showcasing their unwavering loyalty to their country. The scene is adorned with quintessentially Cornish elements; a mangle stands prominently in one corner, symbolizing hard work and domesticity. Delicate flowers grace the tables alongside meticulously arranged linens and aprons, reflecting both beauty and practicality. This photograph captures not only an event but also a snapshot of history - a testament to the resilience and spirit of women during this era. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come while honoring those who paved the way for future generations. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this image allows us to glimpse into an extraordinary moment in time when ordinary women came together to make an extraordinary impact on their community.
