EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - Collection day for Our Lady on Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall. It is the 18th of October in 1916, amidst the turmoil of the First World War. The image captures a bustling street scene filled with men and women who have gathered to contribute towards this noble cause. The focal point of the photograph is a determined woman at the forefront, passionately collecting donations for Our Lady Day. With her collection boxes held firmly in hand, she stands amidst a sea of cobblestones that pave Boscawen Street. Behind her lies Lower Lemon Street, its buildings serving as an impressive backdrop to this snapshot frozen in time. As we examine each face within the crowd captured by photographer Arthur William Jordan, it becomes evident that unity and compassion prevail even during such challenging times. Men and women alike can be seen engaging with one another; their expressions reflecting both determination and hope. This poignant image serves as a reminder of how communities come together when faced with adversity. It encapsulates not only the spirit of Cornwall but also highlights humanity's resilience during times of war
