EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Lostwithiel Carnival in Cornwall, July 1985. The Fairy Queen and her entourage stand before us, radiating grace and beauty. Mayor Gwen Powell-Jones graces the scene with her presence, accompanied by her son Richard as her loyal escort. Together, they add a touch of regality to this magical moment. In the center of it all stands Davinia Goddard, adorned with a crown that symbolizes her role as the Carnival's Fairy Queen. Her beaming smile reflects both excitement and pride as she basks in this well-deserved honor. Flanking either side are attendants Emily Chanter and Melanie Pickup, their fairy wands held high in celebration. Photographer Jonathan Barker has masterfully captured this snapshot of joyous festivities frozen in time. The image exudes an air of tradition and community spirit that is deeply rooted in Cornish culture. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its representation of unity among locals during festive times like these. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, we can come together to celebrate traditions that have been passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this extraordinary moment from decades past, let us appreciate the magic woven into every detail – from the intricate crowns adorning heads to the delicate fairy wands held aloft – reminding us all that sometimes it's important to embrace our inner childlike wonderment and believe in something
