EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1986, we are transported back in time to the historic town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall. The image showcases the esteemed Mayor of Lostwithiel, Ida (Liz) Keast, proudly displaying the symbolic regalia that accompanies her role. Standing tall and exuding grace, Mrs Keast is seen holding both the Mace and Oar - two significant objects used during ceremonial occasions and carried by the Town Sergeant and Sergeant at Arms. The photograph beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, where tradition meets modernity. Mrs Keast's mayoral robes drape elegantly around her as she dons a bicorn hat with pride. Adorned with chains symbolizing her authority, she embodies the essence of civic duty. As we delve into Lostwithiel's rich history through this image, it becomes apparent that Mrs Keast served as an exceptional leader for two consecutive years from 1986 to 1988. Her commitment to public service shines through her poised demeanor. Photographed by Jonathan Barker, this remarkable snapshot not only documents a pivotal moment in Lostwithiel's past but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of its mayors. It reminds us of their dedication towards preserving traditions while embracing progress within their beloved community. This print is more than just an artifact; it encapsulates Cornish heritage and represents the profound significance of ceremonial practices within our society.
