EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to the year 1916 during the tumultuous times of World War I. The image showcases a remarkable sight - a Cornish Pasty specially crafted for a soldier serving at the front lines. With its impressive size exceeding two feet in length, this culinary masterpiece stands as a testament to the ingenuity and care bestowed upon those who fought bravely for their country. The photograph captures not only the pasty itself but also provides glimpses into its surroundings. Placed on a tray atop an intricately patterned cloth, it rests proudly on what appears to be a wooden table near an open window. The location remains unknown, leaving us with room for speculation about where this heartwarming scene took place. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully immortalizes this moment in history, allowing us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by soldiers during wartime while highlighting the significance of cultural traditions even amidst chaos. This image serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict and uncertainty, small gestures like providing comfort food can bring solace and remind individuals of home. As we admire this extraordinary creation built specifically for one Cornish soldier, let us honor all those who served valiantly during World War I and acknowledge their enduring spirit despite facing unimaginable challenges on foreign soil.
