EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, capturing a moment in time when horse-drawn carriages were still an integral part of transportation in Cornwall. The image showcases the "First & Last" coach, a symbol of both nostalgia and progress. In this unknown Cornish locality, men and women from different walks of life gather around the majestic carriage. The women are dressed elegantly in their finest attire, donning long dresses with delicate lace details and fashionable hats that exude sophistication. Their presence adds a touch of grace to the scene. The men stand tall beside the horses, their strong hands gripping onto reins as they prepare for departure. They wear sturdy suits, reflecting their role as guardians of this traditional mode of transport. Arthur William Jordan's skilled photography captures every detail with precision - from the intricate designs on the carriage to each individual's expression frozen in time. This photograph is not just about transportation; it encapsulates an era where simplicity met modernity. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history at Royal Cornwall Museum, we can't help but wonder about these passengers' stories: Where were they headed? What conversations filled the air during their journey? How did they perceive this transition into more mechanized forms of travel? This print serves as a reminder that even though times change and technology advances, there will always be moments worth cherishing – like witnessing the last remnants of horse-drawn carriages before they fade into memory.
