EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous day in history, as the Prince of Wales (later known as George V) and the Princess of Wales (Princess Mary) make their way through River Street in Truro, Cornwall. The date is etched into memory - 15th July 1903. As the royal couple's carriage gracefully passes by Thomas Kendalls grocers shop at 2 River Street, one cannot help but be transported back to that era. The scene is alive with vibrant energy; Cornish flags flutter proudly in the breeze while horses trot along the cobbled street. The atmosphere is electric, with crowds lining both sides of the road eagerly awaiting a glimpse of royalty. It's a testament to the enduring fascination people have for all things regal. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has masterfully captured this historic moment, freezing it in time for generations to come. His lens perfectly frames not only the grandeur of the occasion but also showcases everyday life on River Street during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded of how deeply intertwined our history and heritage are with moments like these. This photograph serves as an invaluable window into a bygone era when royalty graced our streets and left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
