EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of historical significance on The Moor in Falmouth, Cornwall. Standing proudly amidst a sea of enthusiastic Cornish crowds is none other than the Prince of Wales himself, who would later ascend to the throne as King Edward VII. The scene is bustling with activity and excitement. Surrounding the prince are charming buildings that line The Moor, their architecture reflecting the unique charm of Cornwall. Majestic trees provide shade and add an air of tranquility to this vibrant gathering. Flags flutter in the breeze while bunting adorns every available space, creating a festive atmosphere fit for royalty. It's evident that both locals and visitors alike have come together to celebrate this special occasion. As our eyes wander through the crowd, we catch sight of a pram nestled among eager onlookers - perhaps carrying one lucky child who will forever cherish being present at such an extraordinary event. Captured by an unknown photographer, this remarkable image serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich history and its enduring connection with royalty. It reminds us how even small communities can be touched by greatness and play host to moments that shape nations. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten – where tradition meets progress and where ordinary people find themselves intertwined with extraordinary events.
