EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Royal Cornwall Show, held in Camborne, Cornwall during the tumultuous era of the First World War. The year is 1915, a period marked by uncertainty and upheaval across the globe. Amidst this backdrop, we witness an intriguing spectacle - a sheep shearing demonstration. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a world where manual labor meets innovation. The photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures the essence of this event as he focuses on automated clippers being used for sheep shearing. This technological advancement would have undoubtedly sparked curiosity and awe among spectators at that time. The image itself exudes a sense of rustic charm with its depiction of hardworking farmers tending to their flock against the picturesque Cornish landscape. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and chaos, life continues; traditions endure. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from over a century ago, it prompts reflection on how society has evolved since then. It also invites us to appreciate the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by individuals during times of adversity. Preserved within the archives of Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph offers us not only insight into agricultural practices but also acts as a window into our collective past – reminding us of our shared heritage and inspiring contemplation about progress made throughout history.
