EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the charming town of Padstow in 1887. The bustling Market Place is adorned with a delightful tea tent, erected to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that even then, community spirit thrived in this picturesque corner of Cornwall. The composition captures a cornish scene teeming with life and energy. A diverse crowd has gathered around the tea tent, eagerly engaging in conversation and laughter. Among them are children who seem mesmerized by the festivities unfolding before their eyes. Their innocent faces reflect both curiosity and joy as they soak up every moment of this historic celebration. In the background, sturdy buildings stand tall against the backdrop of lush trees, providing an enduring testament to Padstow's rich architectural heritage. These structures serve as witnesses to countless stories woven into the fabric of this vibrant town. Although captured by an unknown photographer, this image speaks volumes about a bygone era when communities came together to honor their beloved monarchs. It serves as a reminder that traditions have always played an integral role in shaping our society and fostering unity among its people. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us transport ourselves back to that jubilant day in 1887 when Padstow embraced its history while looking towards a bright future filled with hope and camaraderie.
