EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 1800s transports us back in time to Truro Station and Richmond Hill in Cornwall. The scene depicts a poignant moment as soldiers and sailors march away from the station, their determined footsteps echoing down Richmond Hill towards Truro town. Following closely behind are a group of Naval and army officers, their presence exuding authority and leadership. As we observe this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this departure is not only significant for those bidding farewell but also for the small crowd of onlookers who have gathered to witness this solemn event. Their faces reflect a mix of emotions - pride, concern, perhaps even longing - as they watch their loved ones embark on an unknown journey. The photographer behind this remarkable image is believed to be Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye captures every detail with precision. Through his lens, we gain insight into the Victorian era's military culture and its close ties with Cornwall's rich heritage. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by both soldiers and sailors during that time period. It immortalizes a moment when duty called upon these brave men to serve their country while leaving behind friends, family, and familiar surroundings. Displayed at the Royal Cornwall Museum today, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history firsthand – witnessing an intimate glimpse into the lives of those who served in the royal navy or army during one of Britain's most transformative eras.
