EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Ladock School, located in the picturesque village of Ladock, Cornwall. The date is October 30th, 1917, a significant day that holds a story within its frame. In this snapshot of history, we see two women and a young girl standing proudly outside the school building with collecting tins in their hands. The image exudes a sense of community spirit and resilience during challenging times. These brave individuals are likely engaged in fundraising efforts for an important cause or charity. Their determined expressions reflect their dedication to making a difference and supporting those in need. As our eyes wander towards the background, we catch sight of a motor car bearing the registration number AF187. This detail adds another layer to the narrative, hinting at progress and modernity amidst rural tranquility. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has skillfully captured this moment frozen in time—a testament to his talent for preserving snippets of history through his lens. His work allows us to connect with past generations and gain insight into their lives. This remarkable print serves as both an educational resource and an evocative piece of artistry. It reminds us of the importance of community engagement and compassion throughout history while offering glimpses into Cornish heritage that continue to shape our present-day identity.
