EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a timeless moment, this remarkable print showcases the resilience and determination of three courageous women belonging to the First World War Women's Land Army. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Cornwall during autumn 1917, these unsung heroes are seen fearlessly scaling tall ladders to gather apples from towering trees. One member stands firmly on the ground, diligently filling baskets with nature's bounty. Photographer Arthur William Jordan masterfully captures their unwavering spirit as they contribute tirelessly to the war effort. Their dedication and hard work symbolize not only their commitment to supporting soldiers on the front lines but also their ability to shatter gender norms by taking up vital roles traditionally reserved for men. This poignant image serves as a testament to the strength and resourcefulness displayed by countless women during World War I. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, ordinary individuals can rise above expectations and make extraordinary contributions. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph invites us into an era where women defied societal constraints and proved themselves capable of any task at hand. As we gaze upon these brave souls suspended between earth and sky, let us honor their legacy by recognizing their invaluable role in shaping history.
