EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a momentous occasion in history - the Queen Victoria Jubilee celebrations of 1897. The scene is set on Broad Street, Padstow, Cornwall, where an exuberant street party is unfolding. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a joyous atmosphere filled with laughter and camaraderie. The image reveals rows of trestle tables adorned with delicate tea sets and delectable treats. People are seated around them, engrossed in animated conversations while savoring their afternoon tea. Overhead, the streets come alive with vibrant greenery and fluttering flags that add a festive touch to the already jubilant ambiance. A peculiar detail catches our eye as we examine this historic photograph closely: a backwards "V R" for Queen Victoria can be seen prominently displayed amidst the decorations. This subtle yet intriguing element adds an air of mystery surrounding its origin and purpose. Captured by an unknown photographer, this remarkable image encapsulates not only a significant milestone in British history but also showcases the spirit of unity and celebration within Cornwall's community. It serves as a poignant reminder of how traditions bring people together across generations. As we delve into this visual treasure trove preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate both its historical value and artistic beauty; it allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era where pride for one's country was palpable through every flag-waving gesture
