EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1893, capturing a moment from the Cornwall County Fisheries Exhibition in Truro. Stepping into the exhibition hall through this lens, we are greeted by an impressive display of exhibition tanks that dominate the space. The photograph showcases the interior of the hall, revealing rows upon rows of these tanks filled with various marine creatures. Located at a field atop Lemon Street, this grand exhibition attracted visitors from near and far during its month-long run starting on July 25th. It was a celebration of fishing and fisheries, showcasing Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. The Victorian era brought about significant advancements in commerce and occupations related to fishing, making this event all the more relevant. Although captured by an unknown photographer, their skill is evident as they expertly framed this shot to highlight both the scale and intricacy of these exhibition tanks. This glass lantern slide is part of a series documenting different aspects of the Fisheries Exhibition - a valuable historical record preserved for generations to come. Interestingly, an advertisement published in The Cornishman on September 7th reveals that after its closure, materials used for constructing these remarkable buildings were set to be sold by public auction on September 20th at The Green in Truro. This detail provides insight into not only how temporary structures were utilized for such events but also hints at potential plans for future exhibitions or repurposing projects.
