EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Haymaking, Cornwall. May-June 1916" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Taken by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image captures the essence of rural life during World War I. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, two men and their trusty horses diligently gather up freshly cut hay amidst the picturesque Cornish landscape. The scene exudes an air of tranquility as these hardworking individuals engage in the timeless tradition of harnessing nature's bounty for sustenance. The men's weathered faces tell tales of resilience and determination, embodying the spirit of those who persevered through challenging times. Intriguingly juxtaposed against the backdrop of war raging across Europe at that very moment, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder that life continued even amidst chaos and uncertainty. It symbolizes humanity's unwavering commitment to survival and nourishment despite being caught in the throes of global conflict. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded not only of our agricultural heritage but also how communities rallied together during times of adversity. This image encapsulates both a celebration of harvest season and a testament to human resilience—a powerful tribute to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes while history unfolded around them
