EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a Cornish evening in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, in September 1989. The image captures the essence of a joyous celebration organized by three remarkable women: Margaret Parkyn, Edna Collins, and Rachel John. Standing proudly from left to right, they epitomize the spirit of community and cultural pride that defined this special occasion. The event was held to commemorate two significant milestones - the Cornish Gorsedh and Lostwithiel 800. As the sun sets over the picturesque town, locals gather together for an enchanting evening filled with singing, music, and poetry. The atmosphere is electric as voices harmonize with traditional melodies while heartfelt verses resonate through the air. Adorned in vibrant Cornish tartan garments and waving their beloved Cornish flag high above their heads, attendees revel in their shared heritage. This gathering serves as a testament to the enduring traditions and rich history that make Cornwall so unique. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures not only the physical beauty of this moment but also its emotional depth. Through his lens, he immortalizes these proud individuals who embody Cornwall's unwavering sense of identity. This poignant photograph now finds its place within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection - a timeless reminder of unity and cultural appreciation that continues to inspire generations today.
