EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to a bustling scene on Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall. The image showcases a magnificent horse-drawn carriage gracefully making its way through the decorated street, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd of spectators. Although undated, this snapshot possibly captures the excitement and grandeur of the coronation of King George V. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in its portrayal of Cornish traditions and transport at that time. The majestic horses pulling the carriage exude strength and elegance as they navigate through the cheering throngs. Flags flutter proudly overhead, adding a vibrant splash of color to an already lively atmosphere. One cannot help but be transported into this momentous occasion when observing this remarkable print. It serves as a reminder of how communities would come together to celebrate important events during those times. The unknown photographer has expertly captured both the energy emanating from the crowd and the regal presence of the horse-drawn carriage. As we gaze upon this piece, we are left with a sense of awe for our ancestors who witnessed such scenes firsthand. This photograph is truly a testament to their spirit and resilience while providing us with an invaluable glimpse into our rich cultural heritage here in Cornwall.
