EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the summer of 1893 in Truro, Cornwall. In this snapshot of history, we see a proud Cornish fishwife standing tall with her cawl - a traditional basket used for carrying fish. The photograph was taken as part of the Cornwall County Fisheries Exhibition, which took place in a field at the top of Lemon Street. This month-long event aimed to showcase the fishing industry's importance to the local economy and celebrate its rich heritage. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their lens skillfully captures not only the woman's striking presence but also her apron adorned with signs of hard work and dedication. With her weathered hands and determined gaze, she embodies both strength and resilience. This image offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era commerce and highlights women's vital role in supporting their families through occupations like fishing. It serves as a testament to their contribution to society during an era when gender roles were strictly defined. As we admire this historic photograph, let us remember those who came before us – courageous individuals who shaped our communities through their laborious efforts. May we honor their legacy by preserving our traditions while embracing progress in today's world.
