EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century amidst the chaos of World War I. The image showcases a remarkable scene at Restormel Manor House in Lanlivery, Cornwall, where Dorothy Hoskin, a resilient milkmaid, stands tall with her yoke adorned with two brimming milk pails. The photograph captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time - a testament to the strength and determination of women during such tumultuous times. As war raged on and men were called away to fight for their country, it was left to individuals like Dorothy to step up and ensure that life continued as best it could. Dorothy's unwavering dedication is palpable through her resolute gaze and firm grip on her essential task. Her role as a milkmaid not only provided sustenance for those around her but also symbolized resilience and continuity amidst the uncertainty of war. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this poignant moment, allowing us to glimpse into history while honoring those who played vital roles behind the scenes during wartime. This evocative image serves as a reminder of the countless untold stories that shaped our past. As we admire this snapshot from Lostwithiel's past, let us reflect upon the indomitable spirit displayed by ordinary people like Dorothy Hoskin - unsung heroes whose contributions often go unnoticed but remain etched forever in our collective memory.
