EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1919 showcases a moment frozen in time on Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall. The Trustees Saving Bank stands proudly adorned with a banner that bears the powerful words "Peace with Honour". A symbol of hope and relief after the tumultuous years of World War I. In front of this historic bank, a group of lively children gather, their youthful energy palpable even through the lens of an unknown photographer. These Cornish boys are dressed in caps and hats, each unique in its own way. Their expressions range from curiosity to mischief as they stand together, perhaps unaware of the significance this photograph would hold for future generations. On the right side of the frame, we catch a glimpse of another sign - one that advertises The Princes Dining and Refreshment Rooms - offering a tantalizing hint at what life was like during those post-war times. The Royal Cornwall Museum has preserved this remarkable image as part of its collection, allowing us to step back into history and witness moments that shaped our world. As we gaze upon these innocent faces against the backdrop of Truro's bustling street scene nearly a century ago, we can't help but reflect on how far society has come since then
