EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1920s, we are transported back to a momentous occasion - the opening of an agricultural show in Cornwall. The image captures a scene filled with grandeur and civic pride. A distinguished gentleman, adorned in a top hat, stands at the forefront, commanding attention as he reads from what appears to be an important document. Surrounding him are men dressed in resplendent mayoral robes, proudly displaying their chains of office. Their attire signifies their esteemed positions within Cornish society and adds an air of formality to the event. Each man exudes authority and dignity as they listen intently to the words being spoken. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur William Jordan, who skillfully captures not only the individuals but also the essence of this ceremonial gathering. His lens perfectly frames each detail - from the intricate designs on their robes to every fold in their bicorn or tricorn hats. This photograph serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and its deep connection with agriculture. It immortalizes a moment when community leaders came together to celebrate and promote local farming practices while showcasing prized livestock and produce. As we gaze upon this historical treasure preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by these figures who played vital roles in shaping our region's past. They remind us of our collective responsibility to honor tradition while embracing progress for future generations
