EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the picturesque county of Cornwall during the 1970s, showcases the vibrant spirit and rich cultural heritage of the region. The scene is set in a sun-drenched, grassy area where four individuals, two women and two men, proudly don traditional Cornish tartan kilts and sporrans. The warm, summer sun casts a golden glow over their smiling faces, as they engage in the time-honored Cornish wrestling event. The women, adorned in elegant blouses and intricately patterned skirts, complement the men's kilts with their own sense of style and panache. The men, with their muscular physiques and confident demeanor, embody the strength and resilience of the Cornish people. The sporrans, hung low on their hips, add an air of tradition and authenticity to their attire. The atmosphere is lively and festive, with the sound of laughter and cheers echoing through the air as the crowd of spectators looks on, captivated by the wrestling match unfolding before them. The sense of community and camaraderie is palpable, as people come together to celebrate their shared love for Cornwall's unique heritage and traditions. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Cornish way of life, and the rich tapestry of customs and traditions that define it. It is a snapshot of a simpler time, when people came together to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and where the beauty of the natural world and the warmth of human connection were the true stars of the show.
