EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1902 showcases the magnificent Cathedral in Truro, Cornwall. The image captures a significant moment in history, as it was taken on the day of Edward VII's coronation on August 9th. The south porch of the cathedral is prominently featured, providing a glimpse into its architectural beauty and grandeur. However, what makes this photograph truly intriguing is that it also reveals an ongoing construction project on the south side of the cathedral. Amidst the scaffolding and building materials, a cleric stands at the porch door, perhaps taking a moment to observe the bustling scene outside. A group of curious children gathers nearby, their eyes fixed upon the photographer who has immortalized this unique moment in time. The unknown photographer skillfully captures both historical significance and human curiosity within this single frame. It serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and architectural prowess while offering us a rare glimpse into everyday life during an important event over a century ago. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this print not only documents an iconic landmark but also invites us to reflect upon our shared past and appreciate how far we have come since then.
