EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to the picturesque grounds of Polwhele House in St Clement, Truro, Cornwall on a sunny day in May 1919. The image beautifully captures a group of young members from the Truro and District Girl Guides, their vibrant cornish dresses fluttering gently in the breeze. Standing together under an array of colorful umbrellas, they exude youthful energy and camaraderie. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly Polwhele House itself - its grandeur can be seen just visible in the distance. With its elegant architecture and sprawling gardens, it serves as a majestic backdrop for these spirited girls who have gathered here for what appears to be a special occasion or outing. As we delve into history through Arthur William Jordan's lens, we cannot help but wonder about the stories behind each face captured within this frame. What adventures did these young guides embark upon? How did their lives unfold beyond that moment frozen in time? This remarkable print not only offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century life at Polwhele House but also reminds us of the enduring spirit and resilience embodied by generations past. It stands as a testament to the power of community bonds forged amidst stunning natural landscapes - an everlasting tribute to those who came before us.
