EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a moment of joy and respite amidst the aftermath of World War One. Captured in August 1919, it showcases an enchanting scene at Nansawsen, Ladock, Cornwall - a place that provided entertainment for ex-servicemen seeking solace and camaraderie. In this heartwarming image by photographer Arthur William Jordan, we witness children gleefully dancing around a maypole. Their innocent laughter fills the air as they weave intricate patterns with ribbons held tightly in their hands. The vibrant colors of their dresses contrast against the somber backdrop, symbolizing hope and renewal after years of conflict. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of carefree childhood moments but also in its representation of healing and unity among those who served during the Great War. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turmoil, communities come together to support one another through shared experiences. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our hearts are filled with gratitude for those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. This image reminds us that beyond the battles fought on distant shores, there were moments like these - where love triumphed over loss and happiness found its way back into wounded souls.
