EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lions Charity Chariots, Par, Cornwall. September 1992" we are transported back in time to a whimsical event that took place at the heart of Cornwall. The image captures the essence of community spirit and creativity as locals come together for a charitable cause. The scene unfolds with an array of colorful characters parading through the streets. Cornish pride is evident as participants don Viking helmets, their costumes reflecting the rich heritage and traditions of this ancient land. But what truly steals the show are the unconventional chariots themselves. Constructed from cornish pram wheels and bound together by sturdy ropes, these makeshift vehicles exude ingenuity and resourcefulness. Each one boasts its own unique design, showcasing not only artistic flair but also a touch of humor. From pig-tailed carriages to horned contraptions reminiscent of mythical creatures, it becomes clear that imagination knows no bounds in this spirited display. As spectators line the streets to cheer on their favorite teams, laughter fills the air alongside cheers for charity. This snapshot frozen in time serves as a testament to how communities can unite under noble causes while celebrating their local identity. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this photograph invites us to reflect upon our shared history and reminds us that even small acts can make a significant impact when driven by compassion and camaraderie.
