EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to a momentous occasion on The Moor in Falmouth, Cornwall. It is believed to have been taken on the possibly sunny day of 5th May 1905, during a ceremonial event that saw the presence of none other than the Prince of Wales himself, who would later become King Edward VIII. The image showcases an exuberant scene filled with bustling crowds and historic buildings that line the streets. People from all walks of life gather around a grand platform adorned with flags and bunting, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of royalty. Excitement permeates through every corner as anticipation builds for what promises to be an unforgettable day. The photograph hints at this being a significant moment in Falmouth's history - perhaps it captures the opening ceremony for the iconic Prince of Wales Pier. While details remain unknown about its photographer, their skill is evident in capturing such vivid snapshots frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Cornish heritage, we are transported back over a century ago when communities united to celebrate their connection with royalty. This print serves as both a testament to our shared history and an invitation to explore further into Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry.
